Hard truth – Failure builds success because success is tougher than you
I have been having discussions lately on “overnight success”. You know, this myth that some of us are made successful overnight? For some, this does not look like a myth: success appears extremely fast in a given realm – I have been there myself in specific areas of my life.

Overcoming Anxiety with Fear: A Unique Coping Method
I had never been anxious and, when I saw posts aiming to help anxious people, I used to be forever grateful that I did not need those. This was before my last burnout (hopefully the last one in my entire life). Burnout can deregulate things in you, and for me, this has been anxiety. Bear…

Let’s talk personal finance today. I am not a professional in this realm, but I have come to a state of play in which I can say that I have healthy financial habits. And you know what? I am sick and tired of people wanting to “get rich fast”. Of course, it is possible, and…

You need to respect yourself before you are respected – Workplace edition
This is one of those concepts that make us want to scream ‘Thank you, Captain Obvious, I am not stupid’, but we all need to read or hear from the outside to fully go back to it from time to time. At least, I am one of these people. As I was figuring out what…
