What I wish for you in 2021

What I wish for you in 2021

These paragraphs were written by Neil Gaiman, and I couldn’t find better words to express what I wish for you in 2021. So here is my wish for you, for myself, and for all of us: I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you’ll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you’ll make something that didn’t exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will…

Good? Bad? Who knows?

Good? Bad? Who knows?

Rohan dropped an other favorite post!!!!_______ One of my favorite stories is about a farmer in ancient China who used an old horse in his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer’s neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, “Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?” A week later, the horse returned with a herd of wild horses from the…

Some roadblocks can't be eliminated.

Some roadblocks can’t be eliminated.

This morning when I woke up I was thinking, as I tend to do, for the first few minutes (usually I say 1 or 2 things I’m grateful for, or like this morning, I think about what I’m doing that day). I had a realization about something that I have been struggling and fighting with, in all my relationship (spouse, friendship, parenting,…).Every time I hit a road block, I tend to concentrate my energy…

Be clear - be kind.

Be clear – be kind.

To be unclear is to be unkind! In other words, clear is kind and unclear is unkind.

Life is more interesting if . . .

Life is more interesting if . . .

Life is more interesting if you play it to make a difference.

Life is more interesting if you get out of your head and connect with others.

Life is more interesting if you treat it as an adventure.

Happiness is not overrated.

Happiness is not overrated.

Relish every moment of happiness that comes your way: Here’s all I know about happiness: It’s slippery. It’s unpredictable. It’s a different sensation for everyone. But one thing happiness is not is overrated. When you luck into some, enjoy every minute!

What people think of you matters.

What people think of you matters.

Of course it does. Try to walk naked in the streets and see what happens. Don’t brush your teeth for a month and see what people say to you. Be a jerk (or real) to people and see if you have anyone around you. What people think of you should matter to you.

Now the question is, which people should be able to speak into your life? which ones should have a say in your everyday life? Youget to…

She is a person too.

She is a person too.

That person who is challenging, hard to get a long with, demanding, jealous, not easy to work with,… is a person. She knows what she knows, she believes what she believes, she wants what she wants and it’s different from what you know, what you believe and what you want; and if you’re gonna work with her, that has to be okay. If it’s not okay, if it’s completely using you up, don’t work there. By…

5-Frank Points Friday

Hi All!

Here is your weekly dose of “5-Frank Points Friday,” a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.

What I’m listening to –

Waah (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music) – A great song by Diamond Platnumz (Instagram) featuring Koffi Olomide (Instagram). This song entails a few dance moves from East Africa and it’s a great listen after a long day or simply if you’re looking for a change…

Stop being real!

No one wants to be around people who think they are being real with you. We all know those people as mean, self-centered and insensitive. Instead of being real, a little kindness and respect could go a long way. Instead of telling people what they did wrong or their short comings, how about we ask questions? Questions like these:

Hey, I notice you were mean to the server, is everything okay? H…

Time you enjoy wasting...

Time you enjoy wasting…

It’s that time of the year! I consider the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, days to slow down, to pause and meditate on how the year went and what we could’ve done better. It’s the time to check on how we are doing with our goals and maybe set new ones. It’ time to relax and rest. it’s time to get enough sleep. It’s time to be with our family and loved ones. To those who have the luxury…

The Key to happiness.

The Key to happiness.

Maybe Shakespeare was right. Maybe all the world was a stage. Maybe without the act everything would fall apart. The key to happiness wasn’t being yourself, because what did that even mean? Everyone had many selves. No. The key to happiness is finding the lie that suits you best. ~ Matt Haig

You’re not entitled to your opinion.

You’re not entitled to your opinion.

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand. ~ Bertrand Russell

You’re entitled to your informed opinion!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Woah, what a year! Yet, here you are, reading this…

To those who lost loved one(s), friends, work-mates, church members,… I am sorry for your loss. It’s hard for me to navigate or understand what’s happening in your world and I’m deeply sorry it happened. It’s not supposed to be this way and all I wish is that all of this goes away soon.

I am sad for those who lost their lives from…
