Apparently, these or some of the expressions which are searched on the Internet quite a lot: “Change your life today”, “Change your life now”, “Change your life forever”. A bunch load of people are not living the lives they want to live, and they’re looking for ways to change that. And I think that’s great. […]

How to Avoid the Holiday Madness and Enjoy Yourself
One big clue that we live in a strange world is for me the fact we even have expressions like “holiday madness” and articles like this one. What in the world is that? Aren’t holidays about rest, relaxation, fun? Have I missed some important lesson in school? Left and right, I hear people talking about […]

Personal Development Readers vs. Personal Development Doers
How many people would you say are into personal development? Very few, right? Keep on reading, and you may realize they’re really fewer than you think.

Enough with the Mind Reading: Get a 360 Feedback!
I find that a whole lot of people worry about how others perceive them. They worry, and that’s it. They don’t do anything to actually get a realistic view on the matter. At best, they just try to guess it, they try to mind read it and every once in a while, they ask a […]
