I'm In Your Head

Hello, my love❤️! How are you doing today? I know it has been an awfully long time since I had a conversation with you. To be honest, I've wronged you by going back on my promise to always be here for you. Will you forgive me? What do you think about Bob? You might be wondering: "Can't he see he's good enough? He just got told he's doing great. Why is he still so unsure of himself?" Funny enough, many people have admitted that they feel like Bob at some point in their career. There's even a name for it. It's called Imposter Syndrome. Imposter syndrome is that feeling of fear you get when someone asks you to undertake an important task. You know you can tackle it, but you're so scared you constantly have to remind yourself of all the reasons you can achieve that tasks. I wrote something about it  here.   If this sounds familiar, here's a reminder that it's all in your head. However, I believe many young people don't really talk about how...

The Art Of Friendship 101

Hello, Dia mi๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜! It's been a long time since I had my last conversation with you. I've missed you a whole lot amid all the tests, assignments, and ocean of notes I have to read. I missed you so much that I had to make time for you. PC: Unsplash You must be wondering why I'm mentioning peace of mind in this conversation. As you go through life and all the challenges it places before you, you forget to breathe and be mindful of the things around you. So, I'm reminding you to put your peace of mind above everything. Stop worrying about things that cost you your peace. Just take it one step at a time♥. I wanted to tell you all about what I did for my friends over the last few weeks. I have been supportive of my friends lately, and it has made me a happier person. I have realized that it is more enjoyable to be a "let me sort it out" person rather than an "oh, wow" person๐Ÿ˜‚.

Why You Should Drop That Fiction Book...For Now

Hello, Dia mi๐Ÿ˜! How are you doing today? I hope you've been having a lovely week so far. As for me, I have had a lovely week of reading and online classes and it wasn't exactly bearable. Luckily for us, it's the weekend๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ’ƒ! I'm happy I was able to help you with tips to help you overcome failure in our last conversation. On the bright side, we'll be talking about books and how special they are. Books are treasures given to us for literally nothing and when we treat them that way, they change our lives forever. The kind of books I'm talking about is not this type but for reference purposes, this is also a book๐Ÿ˜‚. I'm going to guess you read a fictional book recently. Even if my guess is wrong and you're reading one right now, can you drop it for a moment?  Before a moment gets long, I want you to know that I understand how boring self-help might be, especially if you're new to it. Most of them don't have that thrill, suspense and comedy your favo...

I'm diving in right away. 1.Face Failure: You failed again, and so what? Who says you can't try again? You definitely can; you only need to be upfront about why you failed. Search deep...

Are You A Failure?

Hello, Dia mi๐Ÿ˜Š! It has been a long week over here and I'm genuinely excited to be having this conversation with you today. Did your week go well? Dia mi, when last did you fail? Do you think you're a failure? Before you answer these questions, I want you to take a deep breath and think about all those past mistakes carefully. I'm not even kidding. How can you appreciate success if you never fail? How can you be relevant if you never fail? If you think this is some motivational speech, you're wrong.  I have thought about it over and over again. Why did I fail at this project? Why did I have bad grades in this course? Why did I give up halfway on that dream? Does this mean I'm a failure? If this sounds like you, those failures didn't happen by chance. It was a result of the actions you took or failed to take as you were aiming for that goal. It could have been any of these: 1.
