There’s something about being in an unfamiliar place that wakes up parts of your brain that have been on autopilot.

Maybe that’s the real magic of travel – not the destinations we reach, but the way it reminds us how to be curious again.

Disappointment has a way of making time feel different.

In a single moment, not only do you lose what you were hoping for, but also you fret over all those future moments you’d already imagined.

The good thing is, those empty spaces where our plans used to be? They’re not endings.

They’re blank pages on which we get to write our future.

What is the purpose of retaliation? Is it justified? Is it necessary?

Are we acting the way that we want to act?

Are we supporting the people who are exemplifying the ideals that we say we adhere to?

What is the rule we should adhere to?

If it’s disagreeable to us, does it make it wrong?

If the majority feels a way, does the minority have a say?

There are those who extol individuals that answered those questions with resistance: i.e. Jesus, Gandhi, MLK Jr, or even William Wallace.

There are those who demonize individuals that answered those questions with resistance: i.e. Jesus, Gandhi, MLK Jr, or William Wallace.

These are thoughts that have been plaguing me of late.

We can’t always be certain about our path. It can be overwhelming.

But if I can ask myself: Am I doing the that thing that i can do to the best of my ability?

If I can say yes, then that’s all I need to do.

Here’s the thing about early mornings that nobody likes to talk about: they start the night before.

That 5am wake-up call sounds great in theory, but it means saying goodbye to late-night Netflix binges and “just one more” scrolls through social media.

But honestly? Trading those distracted evening hours for clear-headed morning ones might be the best deal you’ll ever make.

There’s something deeply satisfying about heading into a 9am meeting knowing you’ve already knocked out your most important tasks – like you’re playing chess while everyone else is still setting up the board.

There’s something almost sacred about those first quiet moments of morning, before the world fully wakes up.

Just you, a warm cup of coffee, and the soft light filtering through the windows – it’s like having a head start on the day, a small piece of time that belongs only to you.

“I don’t have time” is a phrase I’ve been trying to eliminate from my vocabulary.

Because the truth is, we all have the same amount of time. It’s really about using it in ways that makes sense for you.

When we opt to take on projects or figure out how to manage time, bandwidth must be considered.

Personal bandwidth refers to your mental, emotional, and physical capacity to handle tasks, responsibilities, and commitments.

Just like internet bandwidth, it’s a limited resource that can become overloaded if you take on too much.

Managing your bandwidth well means understanding your limits and allocating your energy effectively.
