 Well the topic might sound corny in that we can not really tell how someone finds happiness but the contrary is also true, you can find happiness or happiness finds you. Anyway, happiness is something of different definitions by different people. However you define what happiness is to you, one fact is still indisputable, and that is that happiness is when what you are doing, saying, and believing are in harmony. Life has its twist and turns and all the more reasons to look for your happiness in other words do, say, and practice what you believe in. We get to go for what works and just go with it, which turns out to be not what we were expecting and we start all these other things which I am not going to go into. So what am I really saying? I think your happiness is sort of how you are as an individual. That will answer that question in that how you love yourself and treat yourself is almost in line with your happiness. I think we have all heard or come across the statement that e...

 Hi there, Now more often than not we want to accomplish things right? it is in our minds day in and day out, we want to tackle it but we never seem to get the time, and even when we have the time to do it we can not do it. so we end up procrastinating.  Well, it is normal I experience this all the time but it's also a disease of some sort and it is bad the more you let it stay the more it takes hold of you. You end up at the end of the day or year wondering how did I not get to do that! and the cycle continues. Here is a hack, if you want to stop procrastinating you have to look at the cause and the cause is because we are usually trying to be a perfectionist. When we want to do something but we want it to be perfect(if there was anything like that in the first place)  that's when we start to procrastinate. For instance when I want to make a youtube video and I ask myself can I make it perfect? the answer is always going to be no! but when I ask myself can I make that vi...

As humans, we tend to treat others the way they treat us right? talk of tit for tat. When you are doing the right thing and you end up being treated unfairly, irritated, or intentionally abused it's easy to lose it so to speak.  It's easy to speak your mind and let the other party have it, tell them like it is. What is hard is taking the hard way out, being calm in such a scenario, and not letting your rage get the best of you. So what am I saying? being the bigger person is unbelievably hard. Staying calm when you are being treated unfairly is hard, and not letting your anger get the best out of you is even harder. So what are you telling us, Oliver, just let people run us over? use and abuse us as we just watch and not say anything? Absolutely not. What I am advocating here is being able to handle yourself, the point being, don't turn into 'them' while trying to justify the wrong. Become the bigger person in the room. By being calm and rising to the challenge tact...

 As creators, producers, idealists, artists, and anyone who likes to share information we get to a point in life that most people would almost call a rut. I am calling it "not being able to drink your own water" in the sense that at times you are trying things your way and you believe and know they work. You even preach it to others as recommendations to their lives to improve themselves and their lives in some way or add a value of some sort. Now here is the thing, as much as you believe in 'that' whatever it is you are preaching you don't get to do it and it becomes almost hypocritical. Your conscience holds you guilty, like how can you recommend this to them when you can't do it yourself? I have to say this happens to me almost all the time, and if you are a creator, an idealist, or a producer of anything new you will tend to experience it. If you haven't, good for you.  So what's my point? perhaps you have something in you that you want to share an...

Hey, Now I know that title sounds almost like a no-brainer but we have to admit more often than not we fall into that rut. Often we want what we are expecting, to come to life, but taking action to make that expectation come to life, is a whole different story all on its own. It's always this way because having faith is always the easy way out. now being who we are, you know humans. Taking the easy way out is always the first option, talk of wanting instant results. We will always tend to have that nudge not to take the longer route seems logical right? but in as much as it seems logical and smart, it's usually dumb and naive. So what is my point? you can't just have faith and not take action, just as you can't have action without faith none is a substitute for the other. Having said that there is something evident and that is one is easier than the other. Having faith is the easy part, the hard part you guessed it? It's the action part. Action is everything, if we ...

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 ...

Winners! a person who has decided to follow his heart will be dinning with despair, ridicule, jealousy, resistance even self-doubt but still keeps on keeping on to his thing. such a person is ultimately the master of oneself. It has been said before if you are not willing to follow your plans then you will be forced to follow someone else's plans. sure you will fail here and there but through your path, you will find that which you have been asking of life.
