When all you wanna say is "I wanna barbecue you, can I barbecue you?"

I’ve always thought that I was a very likable person. I would literally be jaw-drop shocked when I discovered that somebody didn’t like me. Like, how?? Why not?? Have you actually met me? I’m pretty cool! *hides* Yeah, that was back in my younger days, when I was stupid, naïve and self-centered. I have quickly grown to learn that people sometimes just don’t like some people. It has since liberated me to live with the fact that some people are not going to like me, but that doesn’t mean that I’m a wrong or a bad person. I'm just not their kinda cool, you know what I mean? :) I’m basically trying to tell you that some people will not like you, and that’s OK. It is also OK, I figure, to not like some people. Hold your horses, before you Christianese-bash me. I’m not advocating for hatred or whatever. I’m just being real. Hear me. There are some people that you absolutely really like, with no rhyme or reason. Then there are those who you have no idea how you feel about t...

Some People Are Just Unlovable

There’s nothing that gives me more joy than immersing myself in the appreciation of another being.  I love people. I honestly do.    I deliberately choose to fall in love with people.

But I figured; if I get this one thing right; loving the unlovable people, I will experience true depths of love and my life will be pretty awesome.  Learn from the Lifecoach, will you :) 1.

Lessons from a happy person

I like to go on about how much I love life, how much I enjoy my life and generally how one should live an abundant life. It’s no secret, fam; that’s why Jesus came for real. "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." - Jesus  I’m not about to miss out on that free gift. And I’m not about to let you go on living like an abundant life costs money.  Let your life be radiant. I could give you a thousand tips on how you can do that, and I will definitely give you more tips on this blog as time goes (so yeah, stick around maybe, yes?) Here’s just about eleven things that happy people already know... (Yes, eleven, coz ten is too normal) 1.     Reduce your wants Wanting material things can be motivating yes, but it can also be quite depressive. This is my logic: the more you want, the more you lack; basically because you never get exactly what you want, therefore you keep wanting, then getting some, then wanti...
