Weekend is here and this is the perfect time for this blog’s topic:

Allow yourself to waste some time!

Life is not about this stupid rush from A to B, it is primarily meant to be enjoyed. Of course this stands in contrast with the concept of getting ahead in life, achieving your goals, working hard and living your dreams. On the one hand you want to get something done, on the other hand you want to enjoy the time given to you. So now what?

Well, Life Is About Balance! (I Know, I Know… Big Surprise)

I encourage you to work your butt off during the week, but you also have to allow yourself a time out. Give yourself the permission to waste some time (on the weekends or during the week) by doing something you enjoy the most (which makes the time not being wasted at all, get it?)

But when you spend some time off work, REALLY use it to relax. Do not dwell in the past by keeping your thoughts with the work. Enjoy every moment of it. Stay in the present moment!

Remember to make the time you do have for relaxation count! The attitude you have should be “it better be good!”

Ask yourself:

  • Did I laugh?
  • Did I have fun?
  • Did I enjoy it?

But more than often we have bills to pay and maybe with our passionate hobby as...

Whatever You Have To Say Has Huge Value

There is no reason why you and the stuff you have to say is not good enough. Whatever you say has value, simply by the fact that you say it. This is the attitude you should keep in mind for yourself. You are unique and whatever story or opinion you can tell other people is solely influenced by YOUR years of experience and YOUR life. There is NOBODY on this earth who has experienced the same as...

What Life's Challenges And Struggles Are Actually Here For

Life is sometimes filled with struggle and doubt. There are obstacles along your way that keep you from getting where you want to go. There are stones along the way, that make the journey less easy. But for whatever reason you still go for your dreams. You have that shiny vision of yourself and you want to reach that, you want to become the best that you can become, you want to give as much as...
