I’ve seen quite a lot of these posts around and I wanted to share ten ways that I instantly feel better. Hope they (or some) work for you too. 1. Share it. If you have a problem, don’t keep it to yourself. From my experience, sharing a problem often halves the burden. There’s a saying…
We all know that if we really want happiness, we should look in the present. Here are some ways to do that: Focus on what you Can do There are lots of dreams we want to achieve, and maybe we don’t have the money to do so, or the tools/skills (yet). It’s important to focus…
Sometimes, I feel that our view of whether this is the worst thing that has happened to us, or the best, completely depends on perspectives. It can be very hard, but I believe with enough thinking, we can sway our minds into believing that a horrible situation was one of the best things that has…
After going on a trip that’s changed my life in so many ways, I want to empower you to chase after your dreams. Have you ever wanted to do something but felt like you couldn’t? Or you really thought you didn’t have what it takes, or that it’s impossible? Yes, I’ve been there too. In…
I’ve been watching a show lately about a girl who has an illness and only has 100 days to live. It has been such an inspiration to me, because it make sme think about the truly important things in life. I want to write a few ideas on how to live as if you only…
An experience has taught me to never take a single day for granted. If you love someone, tell them. If someone inspire you, or have changed your life, tell them too. People don’t know what you are thinking. If you want to meet someone, go and do it now. Never put it off, thinking that…
Often, the secret to staying happy and positive is to be grateful for what we have, and to stop focusing on what we don’t have. But how do we do that? For a long time, I’ve struggled with not knowing how to think about what I have. Instead, I put way too much focus on…
Have we ever thought, “what is our purpose in this life?”. Perhaps many people are busy or have never particularly thought about it, but purpose is one of the biggest and greatest things anyone could ever have. Have you ever watched one of those video game competition playthroughs were some of the earlier entries were…
You may be thinking: Happiness and eating are two completely different things, how can they be related? Let me just say that eating healthy may even be the key to happiness. Often when we’re devoid of nutrients, our brain stops functioning the way it should be. If we’re feeding ourselves food that aren’t giving us…
I want to share five youtube channels which I absolutely love, and some of them even inspires me! Vsauce Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce I feel that Vsauce really fits into the theme of this website, especially my analytical nature, that I want to know why. Ever since I discovered Vsauce, I’ve been crazily obsessed with thinking about…
Something that occurred to me today. We often feel unlucky when bad things happen, because we KNOW ABOUT IT! What about when we luckily miss a bad situation but didn’t know it even existed? We wouldn’t feel lucky because we didn’t know about it. For those of us who has met with a misfortune in…
Being in a good mood is something we all love, of course. Who wouldn’t want to be happy and excited? But I’ve come to realise that your moods aren’t just affected by your thoughts. Sometimes, external factors can make you feel down, and it’s important to recognise what may be the things that can affect…
A lot of people (myself included) have big and wild dreams about what we want to achieve in life. As the saying goes, “you can’t swallow a giant in one sitting…” (Haha, why would you?) This article’s purpose is helping you realise that any achievements and little milestones matter, and why we should be patient…
It’s interesting that I hear a lot about “thinking positive” but unfortunately, we barely get taught how to think positive, along what part of the thought process do we start? This is where I’m going to try and teach you! Something Greater will happen! This is probably the thing that helps me most. Whenever I…

FILL THE WORLD WITH THE CONFETT’S OF MY SOUL! Hooray! There were no Hipotomomy Hipotomy is that the plural of Hippopotamus or is it Hippoponomisses? I just can’t…
A hungry wolf was out hunting for food near a farm. The wolf overhears a mother angrily disciplining her child: “If you keep crying, I’ll throw you out as food for the wolf!” ‘Yum.’thinks the wolf. The child cries all night; the poor wolf waited infatuatedly until it started to light and then sighed with…
Many of us have experienced some kind of bad experiences from childhood. I know all of us want to look back at our childhood and feel utmost nostalgia, wishing to return to that carefree time. Unfortunately, that’s not the case for some, as your memories may be buried with deep nightmares and pain. Perhaps you’ve…
Sometimes, we get into bad situations which completely throws us off. We often react to those by being angry and feeling sorry for ourselves. For example, the most common thought we go through is, “why me?”. You may feel that you were unlucky, and that life isn’t fair. Examples of bad situations going from severe…
Humour is one of the most marvelous things ever. It’s so good, yet hard for many people to create. There are different types of humour, some being just expressions or movements, others are words, some requires prior knowledge, others don’t. The amount of humour that exists is endless, and the first thing we need to…
