Let's, just for a moment, hypothetically assume that everything we wish to achieve lies on a single straight line. Along the straight line are various checkpoints of wants, desires and achievements. Every time you fulfill a goal, another takes its place and so the story goes. Life, however, is not a straight line. More of… Continue reading Zig-zagging

The notion of being ‘good enough’
I have to make a strange admission - throughout my life, I have been afraid of not being good enough. Not being good enough at academics, at dance, at swimming, at reading 'smart' books and so on. I've striven to be absolutely perfect in every single thing that I have done and while I end… Continue reading The notion of being ‘good enough’

Here's where the conflict arises:… Continue reading Laziness
