We’re social creatures. We adapt. That’s how we survive. But what if you've adapted so much that you’re losing touch with who you truly are? What if you’ve become so good at sensing what other people need and what is expected of you that you’ve adjusted yourself to the point that this desired behavior has …

The majority of results stem from our energy, not our actions. I believe the 80-20% rule applies here as well. I know that’s not how most of us behave, nor is it what we’ve been taught.

I have a natural eye for detail and I have very high standards, often higher than many other people. That reminds me of what my marketing manager said at the time: What’s 80% for you is 110% for most people. You don’t need to put all your time and energy into the final 20%.

I recently heard that 95% of the time our subconscious runs the show. That means that the programming we received during the first seven years of our life calls most of the shots. The problem is that all these beliefs and behaviors we’ve adopted are running on automatic pilot—without us consciously filtering or …

Another year has gone by. It feels cliché but time does seem to go faster and faster. I know there's a scientific explanation for that: the older you get, the less new experiences you have which makes the passage of time feel more rapid. In the spirit of personal growth I like to reflect on the year and decide what…
