When I first quit my job to start my own business, I didn’t treat creative work seriously, or as seriously as I take it now. I would let people distract me from my work, I would roam around during my most creative hours looking for dates or doing groceries, and I got embarrassed when people would tell me I didn’t …
Bob Marley said those wise words – “the day you stop racing is the day you win the race.” I am not as wise as him, but the words he said make so much sense to me. Everything comes to us at exactly the right time. These words came to me in a moment where I was racing so hard …
Recently, I had to quit a job, and move back home as my parents needed my youth and strength around them to give them energy and vitality. It was an easy decision to make as I told myself “you are exactly where you need to be”. I didn’t dilly-dally about it. I had the revelation during the lunar eclipse in …

I cannot detract from it, because I am a shining example of being consistent, and persistent in getting you to lead your ideal life. That’s what life is all about. Keep going …
My intensity scares people. They say things like: “Dial it down.” “Calm down.” “Don’t be so much.” “Stop being so high.” “You are too intense.” “Why are you always too much?” I have heard these statements all of my life.
