Shyrwyn and I both have e-book readers that have been unused for pretty much since we came to Brazil back in 2020. A few days ago I decided to check if they would still be working after being so much time with the batteries completely discharged.

Most of the times, I choose the title of my text first, then write accordingly. But occasionaly, I do the opposite: write whatever comes to mind, then later choose a title that fits the content.

It reminds me that it doesn’t matter what you try to achieve. As long as you show up consistently on your mat – meaning doing the actual work – you’ll get there.

In my lowest days, I used to ask myself what my life would’ve been if I had decided to stay in my corporate job. What if I had made the wrong decision?

Days ago I was taking care of my daughter. She’s 2 years old and has recently started throwing tantrums consistently. It can be very irritating, but I do my best not to succumb to my irritation and to take the most effective action:

I was raised Catholic by my parents. For as far as I can remember, the whole family would go to the church every Sunday.

It hurts, and we feel like paying back, making the offender suffer just like we did.

There are some people you like who you’ve always liked, and there are people who you used to like but don’t anymore. There are also people you like now that you used to dislike, and there are people you dislike who you’ve always disliked.

If you want to have the most delicious meal you’ve ever had in your entire life, there’s no need to spend a fortune going to a Michelin 3-star restaurant to eat food prepared by a famous chef.

I used to get mad whenever I heard people say, “You should be happy with what you have.” Now I realize I was wrong.
