About a month ago, I suddenly came down with violent stomach flu. It was the worst! After several days of lying in bed reading Chris Guillebeau's The Happiness of Pursuit, I was overcome by the urge to book a last min trip to Bali. I have now been home for about a week, and want to share some of my experience from this beautiful country with you. I find there's nothing quite as exciting as...
I've had a lot of trouble sitting down to write lately. I know it's been summer and there are a ton of distractions, but it it's more than that. There's been a lot of stuff going on in my life lately, and despite being one of the best summers I've even had, it's also been one of the hardest. I will disclose the details when the timing is right. Normally I love to write and find a lot of...
It seems like whenever you ask people what they really want in life, they pretty much always say it's to be happy. Happiness is the best so it makes sense why we want to feel it. The struggle is often how to get more, and how to make it last. You have to also figure out what happiness feels like in your own body so you are able to recognize it when you have it. For me, it's the...
When you're really good at something, it can be easy to take it for granted. You probably assume that it's just normal and everyone feels the same. If you are a gifted musician, playing a song is as easy as walking. Or if you love to paint, you can effortlessly pick up a brush and create something beautiful. But these skills are actually really hard for many people. I've never been...
Happy summer! I have now lived in Vancouver for over 7 years, but each year I’m still in awe of how magical the summers are here. There is SO much going on and the biggest challenge is trying to get as much fun in as possible! My FOMO strikes an all time high between June-August, but I have been embracing a new concept called JOMO (joy of missing out!). It’s not always easy to say no, but you...
For the past few days I’ve felt a little bit sad. There’s not really a particular reason for it, but I have been spending more time on my own which is unusual for me. Most nights I go to events, see friends or do an activity, which is great because I love being around people. But lately I’ve felt a bit more reclusive and introverted, so I’ve been staying at home more. What I noticed is that all...
It’s really easy for me to get stuck in the cycle of always doing. I’m a pusher, a promoter and a hardcore hustler. I love ideas, but what really gets me excited is making them happen. This is highly effective for being an entrepreneur and probably the main reason I’ve never had a job since graduation. Running the Make It show allows for me to tap into my hustling skill set, and create a...
Last week was one for the records! I don't think I have ever experienced such a roller coster of emotions. It all started because of a post that I wrote about my thoughts and opinions regarding the exclusivity clause that Signatures recently announced. I feel very passionate not just because it's detrimental to Make It, but it pissed me off that a show organizer wanted to limit the earning...
