How to save a relationship—the effective way...

Since relationships are vital for our survival and well-being, it is important to learn how to nurture it. Very often we are faced with relationship problems that we either face or evade—and it is unfortunate that evasion has been the preference of many. While most relationships are shallow and can be easily terminated at will, intimate relationships are much more complicated to deal with. Couples relationship...

Everyday decisions that wastes our life...

“The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That’s why it is called the present.” Everyday we live our lives repeating the one that have passed, not realizing we are in a loop.  We wake up in the morning thinking of what has been—and confine ourselves back in. On other occasion, we torture ourselves of...

Warning: These habits will kill you...

We have heard of it many times and have witnessed some of its casualties, yet it never sink on our consciousness until it’s too late—the bad habit that we unknowingly incorporate in our lifestyle that greatly compromises our health and well-being. Although we may find such precarious habits very satisfying, we have overlooked at the irreversible consequences it may have on our mind and bodies. Let us look at...

The things that matters in life...

Oftentimes, we have been foolish enough to take for granted the things that really matters in life. Instead, we go for the shiny, fleeting and deceiving objects (and aspirations) that our society, culture, belief and early programming have inculcated upon us. Its no wonder we have never been satisfied no matter how much we acquire: we aspire wrong things!   We want fame and fortune; we want beauty and grace; we...

Importance of RESPECT in a relationship...

A healthy relationship commands respect. Unfortunately, most people do not understand this simple principle. Our tendency to disregard the feelings, concern and sense of importance of others tend to corrode our sound relationship with them.   But what is respect in a relationship?   Consider the following scenarios: We’re in conversation with others but we keep on enforcing your opinion, giving others no...

A better life starts with a decision...

Many times I have asked: Why there are those who enjoy the good things in life while others don’t? What puzzles me even more is that those who are enjoying a better life are relatively few, the rest are suffering a life of discontent. Is it the person’s circumstance that decides his/her lot? Or does one’s life decision play an important role in influencing his/her situation in life? I wish I could easily...

Christmas, what does it mean to you?...

This time of the year is more than a celebration: it is the season of unity. No matter the disparity we label on each other, we are all the same. The spirit of Christmas beckons us to remember the brotherhood within us all; despite the race, religion, culture and belief, we carry the same dreams, hopes and aspirations in life. While many argue about the true meaning of this season, let us keep in mind that...

Lessons learned from becoming a father...

Strolling with my two-year-old son during our regimented late afternoon expedition around the relaxing greeneries of our neighborhood, I never would have thought how much I’ve changed since I became a father. While I’m not very vocal about it, I have within me the urge to do my best for my children. Though my son has become a little naughty and defiant (in an adoring and innocent kind of way) I would always...

A lesson in goal-getting: How did I lose belly fat...

Eliminating belly fat has been one of the major concerns of many people, and this is the reason why many are being conned into buying commercialized ways and means of how to get rid of belly fat. There are those belly fat exercise machines or burn belly supplements over which desperate individuals purchase with the belief that it will work. Never did these people realize that the secret to eliminating their fat...

What you do today shapes your future...

Did you ever wonder what your future will be? Though it’s impossible to predict, with great accuracy, our circumstances during such time, did it ever occurred to you that you play a big part in influencing its outcome?  I find it absurd that most people hope for a bright future yet does nothing on their part to make it so. Some aspire of their future as being settled in a life of prosperity, peace and health,...
