Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time said, “Limits, just like fears, are often just an illusion.” What can we draw from this statement?

Ever feel a bit trapped or asphyxiated because you can’t seem to control a lot of the outcomes of life? Yep, me too. I feel so controlled by life sometimes – by the expectations of my friends and family, the judgements of acquaintances and by my own inner yearning for approval, and this is all…
You are not the mistakes of your past – you are the lessons and capabilities you have gained from them. Be at peace with yourself – intimately, wholesomely and lovingly. Don’t let the mistakes of your past dictate who you are now or in the future because it has no bearing. Break free from it’s…

I forgot how much I loved my writing, it was my rock in times of worry and my celebratory release in victory. I’ve been away from my writing for a couple of months now because I faded away from what was important to me. I stopped placing priority on my writing and for that I…
