Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in today’s society. Many of our family members and friends are dealing with depression and we may not even know it. Depression plagues the minds of about 350 million individuals world wide. We read about depression cases from around the world and try to sympathize with these people, however there are cases we are not told about. Another point to note is that there are different levels of depression, as in some may suffering at a different level of intensity than others. People who suffer from depression can be masters at hiding it, especially if they don’t want you to see them suffering. This is why it’s important to look out for and to note possible signs of repressed sorrow or depression. We need to help them get out of the emotional rut and help them see the light. Depression can lead one into a toxic and lonely place for those who think they are alone in suffering. Here are 4 subtle, yet serious phrases an...

“Every great achievement in human history began with a single step.” – Michael Macri | Take Massive Action Think about it, the greatest accomplishments in human history all began with just a single step in the right direction. No matter how small. What are you waiting for? Take your first step towards greatness today! “People may doubt what you say, but they will believe what you do.” ―Lewis Cass | Take Massive Action Don’t worry what people may think of you. All that does is distract you from your purpose. The only person you need to believe in you, is you! Let your actions do the talking. “Every life form seems to strive to its maximum except human beings. How tall will a tree grow? As tall as it possibly can. Human beings, on the other hand, have been given the dignity of choice. You can choose to be all, or you can choose to be less. Why not stretch up to the full measure of the challenge and see what all you can do?” – Jim Rohn If you could choose betwee...

We all know a complainer. You know, the one who always manages to find a negative in every positive. The one who seems to totally miss the upside and go straight for what could have been better or what was missing in any situation. Being around people who complain all the time is exhausting. It really drains your energy to constantly talk about what’s WRONG in life instead of focusing on what’s good or what’s going well. The funny thing is, chances are at one point or another you have been that complaining person. I know I have. It doesn’t make you bad. It doesn’t mean you are unlovable or unacceptable. Being ashamed of yourself isn’t the answer here. The point is simply, to gently tell you that you may have accidentally gotten stuck on focusing on the wrong stuff. WHOOPS. But, there’s good news! You can totally change it. And it’s important that you do. When we complain or focus on the negative in life, we actually increase feelings of sadness and melancho...

Being with someone who’s highly-sensitive can be tough. They feel all their emotions in extremes, from sadness to anger, as well as love. When you have a woman like this in your life who’s also tremendously anxious too, things can get a bit more difficult. A relationship like this will be worth it in the end if you can just get over the first few hurdles. To help you do that, here are 8 things you need to understand if you love a sensitive girl with an anxious mind. 1. She’s Easily Hurt A girl like her is extremely fragile. You’ll need to handle her with caution if you don’t want her to break. Although she knows that she can be a little oversensitive sometimes, that won’t stop her from getting hurt too easily by the things that people say or do. 2. She Can Become Attached Easily Her emotional nature makes her crave someone to love and care for. If she thinks that you’re worth her love, then she’ll give it all to you. The problem with this, however, is that she c...

What makes a woman strong?   This lady doesn’t wear a T-Shirt with a slogan that says: H ey, I’m A Strong Woman? What’s Your Superpower? so you won’t recognize her on the street. But if you get to know a strong woman you’ll surely understand she is one.

If you thought that someone will faithfully wait for you to build your career, or to find out whether at some point you want to get married and start a family, you are wrong. Yes, it would be nice if we lived in a romantic comedy and the person who loves us would always be by our side, waiting for us to decide if we want to be with them. But, in real life things are different. Today, when a person has had enough of your bullshit – they’ll walk away. You see, everyone will eventually get tired of giving you way too many chances. Because even though they strongly believed in your abilities to change and become a better person, they realized that it’s time to take care of themselves and leave you because they don’t deserve the treatment you are giving them. They reached a point of no return. And when a person decides they are done, they are really done. And once they have a taste of the life without you taking advantage of them, wasting their time and sucking their e...

We live in a fast-paced, intense world, there’s no denying it. Everywhere we look there seems to be something or someone trying to grab hold of our attention and move us away from the present moment. Advertising, social media and mainstream media are all laced with the energy of momentum. There is a sense of being constantly encouraged to BE more, DO more and CONSUME more. We have become so focused on where we are headed. Most of us forget to celebrate the present moment . Is there a point in your life where you get to stop and allow yourself to reflect upon and celebrate all you have already achieved?  In a world which pushes us to be constantly achieving. The importance of self-acceptance is huge. To embrace this mindset of self-acknowledgement is to practice self-love at a fundamental level. Ironically, it is through this process that we gain clarity over our lives that allows us to move forward in a healthy and functional way.   On the othe...
