  What does it mean to have a connection with God? Aren’t we all connected to Him in one way or another? After all, He is the one who created us. He is the one who breathed life into us. We’ve all questioned God at some point in our lives and have felt guilty for it. Whether you are religious or trying to be religious, it’s crucial to create a connection with Him to understand Him better. So, how can you create a genuine connection with God? Here’s what you can do: Call Out to Him There is no right or wrong way to pray. But praying to Him and calling out to Him is important if you want to have a heart-to-heart with Him. He listens to us; He is in our hearts and our minds. He’s closer to us than we know. When you’re feeling anxious, distressed, or lonely, call out to God. Talk to Him in your heart. Talk to Him aloud. It doesn’t matter how you call out to Him; just make sure you do. The most beautiful thing about God is that you don’t need to subscribe to a religion to build a connec...

  There are days when we feel like nothing really matters. We feel like life is meaningless and that there’s nothing worth living for. We’ve all been through those days. It feels as if there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. We feel exhausted and jaded. We feel like there’s no motivation left in us; no hope. Life looks like an endless cycle of mundane activities. But in a world that makes you feel average, YOU are the one who can make yourself extraordinary. You are the one who can turn the tables and find your mojo. Here’s what you should do: Give Yourself Space When it feels like everything is happening all at once and you feel overwhelmed, give yourself some time and space. Give yourself at least two days to figure things out. Disconnect from the world over the weekend, cancel all plans, and spend some “me time” in your room. Think about things, sleep it off, watch a movie, or go on a date with yourself. That “me time” will do wonders for your mental health. Set Healthy Bound...

  As old school as it sounds, I still believe in the “no pain, no gain” ideology. I don’t believe in shortcuts, even when it comes to “working smart.” I grew up seeing my parents work hard to make ends meet. And when my father passed away, I knew that life without him wouldn’t be easy. When I moved to the UK, I as determined to make something out of myself. Today, I have a successful coffee shops around the UK. A lot of people have asked me how I ‘made it’ and I tell them all the same thing—you need to have strong values. These are values that will help you build a successful business. What are these core values? Let’s take a look: Accountability is Important You need to hold yourself and your employees for even the simplest tasks. You need to get into the nook and cranny of your business’s operations. You should look over the hiring, sales, deadlines, projects, and all the other elements of your business. Of course, this doesn’t mean dealing with major issues and problems. This al...

  As human beings, we all have our flaws. Whether it’s the habit of arriving late to events, or telling small white lies to our boss to save ourselves, there’s always an area we’re lacking in. While some people are born gifted, that doesn’t mean they don’t have their flaws. For example, if someone’s smart, good at sports, and is an eloquent speaker, doesn’t mean their life is perfect. Perhaps they struggle with things like relationships, or even simple things like being organized. The grim reality is that we are our own worst critics. No matter what anyone says, we are never satisfied with what we have achieved. This is because in today’s era, we’re always told to do more and be more. It’s not uncommon for professionals in the corporate world to have high expectations of themselves. In fact, you probably know someone (or maybe it’s yourself) that is a perfectionist. We go out of our way to avoid a little bit of criticism by burning ourselves out. The truth is, criticism is...

You’ve got it all—a nice, loving and caring family, a cosy home, and a handsome pension to get rid of all the worries in life. Your kids have graduated university and all have a family of their own. You’re living the dream and you couldn’t be happier! Except…there’s just one small problem— you feel like something is missing! We’ve all been there; feeling like we could do something more. Something better. If you can’t seem to shake off that feeling, here’s what you can do to add some jazz to your life: Don’t Brush Aside That Feeling A lot of people try to shrug it off. They try to cope with the feeling by putting in on the backburner. But that’s not the right approach. You need to feel your feelings and figure out what’s causing you to feel this way. Don’t invalidate your own emotions. Just because you have a lot to be grateful for doesn’t mean that you can’t feel like there’s more you can achieve in life. Do You Have “FOMO”? Some people have “FOMO” which is “Fear Of Missing ...
