Your Conviction Is Your Answer

 All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.

---Francis of Assis

Hey, In life, we are influenced from the day we are born, I mean think of where you are born your siblings, your friends, and most significantly your parents. While we are always trying to be ourselves we cannot deny the fact that influence plays a major role in what we believe in

So what am I getting at? Well I think who you are ought to be shaped by you and you alone I mean it is easier said than done. Here is my point, Influence will play a major role in our lives and as much as we would not like to admit it, it happens. The people and the environment you are in will influence you in a good way or a bad way, whether you are aware of it or not.

You know most of the time we tend to lie to ourselves that if something is affecting someone else it cannot affect me. Well for your information it does, so my message to you is, to be cautious of who you are letting influence you. I mean you know yourself better than me, remember there is a good thing about this and that is you have the power to choose. The power to choose who you want to influence you, who you want to be friends with, but either way whether you decide to choose or not one will be chosen for you.

To summarise if you can not follow your own conviction you are following someone else's. In other words, if you have decided to be great you can not be around mediocre people, if you have decided you want to live courageously you can not be around cowardly people. I guess it is as they say 'birds of the same feather flock together.' Remember who you want to be is solely your own decision but if you do not make that decision it will be made for you. And I do not know about you but I would rather make that decision myself.

By the way, what I am suggesting is not plug and play, It is unbelievably difficult but you know, as they say, if it was easier everyone would be doing it. My hope is you will find the courage and the strength to follow yourself.

5 Morning Habits to Build a Better Routine (Start Small)

Updated October 2026 Starting a new habit is hard. Sticking with it is harder. If you're a student, a young professional or a freelancer trying to build a better routine, these five morning habits are a simple place to start. They're the ones that have worked for me, and you don't need all five on day one. Why mornings? Your mind is usually at its freshest early in the day, before messages, work and everyone else's demands arrive. Small wins in the morning make the rest of the day easier. Remember that you're building habits, not ticking off tasks. Each one just has to become normal. When you make great habits, they take care of you. Quick summary: the 5 habits Wake up early Drink water first Make your bed Plan your day Add some music 1. Wake up early Are you a morning person or a night owl? We love putting ourselves in one of two boxes, but I believe we become who we choose to become. Here is what matters: you can never manage time....

Dare

The greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The people who risk nothing, do nothing, have nothing, are nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, and live. Chained by their attitudes they are slaves; they have forfeited their freedom. Only a person who risks is free. People, who risk may go through things that seem self-inflicting you know someone looking from the outside so to speak might ask what in the world is this guy thinking? why go through all that? why try you know how difficult it is? These are the people who don't risk anything thinking it's the best decision in the short term but in the long run, those who have risked are the ones who enjoy life, feel, change, find their path, grow, and live fulfilling lives. Just like a plant that is in a cocooned place will always look dull unlike a plant that faces all the elements, is usually more vibrant. Here is my point always try, risk, feel, love, and don't ...
