A LETTER TO COMPLACENCY (We just can’t work out) Dear Frenemy Complacent, Good luck being a comedian You never made me laugh as I wanted You never made me smile as I pretended You never cracked my ribs You made Adams out of Adams when Eves were still unseen. Very unprofessional at creating excuses. You hurt me like an opponent rebutting one’s greatest points in the final round You annoyed me like a slow internet connection when one is already facing deadline You are as cold as Fanice living in a freezer. As treacherous as an iceberg hiding itself under the water How dare you call my name louder? Aren’t you the king of silence? You thought me to always play the role ‘dumb’ Even when the ‘speaker’ role was a vacancy You are the slow poison that kills time You are the slowest fastest destiny tracker Get out of this mind! And never show up again Because like every other break-up It might hurt at first, but it will he...

After a well spent time at Elmina Castle, Ka Osa resort proved to be a perfect place for relaxation and fun. It was beautiful watching the tidal waves do a barter trade with the shore. As I squatted on the dazzling shore it occurred to me I was looking at life in a picture. Even when standing my eyes could not see the end of the great sea of waters. The waves came with such beautiful force, nothing stood in their way. ... Well, that is life too. Before the journey begins we stand at the shore and see far into the future. Many people already have their 10-year plan, others already know the kind of job they want in the next 25years. Well, that is very beautiful. Bravo! I should add. Remember however, you are just like me, standing at the shore and seeing how beautiful the world is. The distance between where you stand and the future you desire is a lot of tides and waves. The wind can blow you into many directions. Sight is limited at the shore because you cannot fully grasp the...

Make someone feel understood today! Mayb...

This is the scary fear of excellence We are not afraid of how bad we might be, we are only afraid of how good we can be. We don't think we can be 'that' good and that's what stops many people from trying. When I tell you to mention different kinds of fear I know you'll skip this. You are so afraid to be excellent because 'someone like you is not expected to be excellent'. Accept this fact today, you are extremely good. You are a masterpiece version of yourself and more to it there is even no counterfeit of you. Embrace your beauty, love your uniqueness and you'll see that you are on way to your purpose. It's called 'purpose' because anything outside of it is an abuse of your talents, frustrating and aimless. Yes, you failed a couple of times or maybe all the time. Yes, you have been told in actions and in words 'you are not good enough' Well, no one was ever good enough without trying to be good enough. Don't...
