By asking for help when needed, we can give ourselves time to breathe and avoid falling into a pattern of self neglect. For it is often when we neglect ourselves that we start feeling deprived- of companionship, time, peace, love, attention, energy, and much more.

An intention exists behind every thought and action even if you are not aware of it. Intentions are like roadmaps that can guide you as you move through life if you choose to become aware of it.

In this way, it helps you to hone on to see more of you what you want in your life.

What if you realised that life owes you nothing?
Most importantly, what if you realised that what you have is actually a GIFT and cannot be taken for granted?
