Remember the quote? "Twenty friends cannot play for twenty years"  There is this kind of pain and betrayal that doesn't come from our enemies but from people we once called our own. We look at someone we once called "our personal person", the "we live and die together" people in our lives or "the brother or sister from another mother" and somehow, now they all  seem like strangers to us and the energy feels off.  The people you laughed with, the ones who knew how you started out in your life, the people you thought would be there no matter what and yet, something changed. The inside joke no longer land the same, the conversation feels forced and you sometimes catch them pretending to be happy about those things that no longer move you. And deep down, you start to hear a voice in your head saying "I thought we would be friends forever"  Outgrowing a friendship can be one of the most painful, confusing and lonely experiences and It...

 In the name of the Almighty whose guidance is nothing but the only true light and by His guidance, He has brought so many of us closer or close to what we've chosen to do.  Growing up in a country like ours and the kind of environment that was created around many of us, the obsession to do many things is not something new and it's making a lot of us becoming very excellent at practically nothing.  How many times have you personally changed from this to that? How many times have we changed course in our business just because we noticed a friend flourish at a particular one and then we all decided to venture into the same thing, without considering the pros and cons?  Many of us today, we admire people who can almost do everything and we celebrate them so much, but when it comes to the real impact, influence and value, we come to understand that it's how deep they've gone that makes them a winner, not the variety. It's not how much you've done something but how w...

The world we live in today is changing at a very fast pace. "What is" changes so much to "What was" in a very short period. And in all of those changes, "What is trending" rules everything.  How many times have we seen one viral song or dance, a 15-30 seconds challenge, one online influencer's routine or style... And suddenly, millions of people are doing the same thing. But talk about Discipline? Our day to day hustles and hurdles? The efforts we're putting in to stay on the right course? All of these are nowhere to be found on the trending page. And because many of us enjoy the irrelevant aspects of life, we're drowning in problems, that actually were not supposed to exist.  Let's think about some things together. Today, the level of health crisis that we suffer, from obesity, diabetes, anxiety, depression to heart diseases, kidney failure, liver problems and cancer, might not be as high as it is. They are rampant in our society today not...

Many of us today, with myself inclusive, claim that "this person" or "that so called person" is my mentor, but are we really making use of that idea of making a good example out of them or just tapping what we feel we want to take from them without understanding what true mentorship? Let's see how far you've gone with your own mentor(s). In our world today, many of us are confused, trying to figure out what exactly to do with our lives or where to start or pick up from and most importantly, many are distracted. In all of these chaos, where do we get our ideas of finding peace? What door do we knock in order to know which way we need to go through to make sure the problem doesn't hit on us.  All of these mind-pausing thoughts can be sorted out through the right guidance from choosing the right people to look up to as an example.  Sometimes ago, I remember someone telling me that you can tell what a person is trying to become by checking who they keep as t...
