The workplace is not necessarily only a place for work. It shouldn’t be a place that employees would want to get out of the end of the day. Actually, boosting their morale is one of the most proven effective ways to increase productivity. If the employees wear smiles rather than the dread for 5 pm, it could translate to more completed tasks. It could also result in lower attrition among the workforce if they’re satisfied with their work situation. A happy workplace would actually bring positive results. Remember to inspire your people to desire to perspire.

The workplace goal?

Change is probably the most permanent thing to exist in this world. And generally, we tend to find new things scary or terrifying. So, as a survival instinct, we tend to seek comfort and avoid what’s unfamiliar. But if we constantly avoid the risks of the unknown, how are we to explore and discover new possibilities? Are you really content with your current status quo? Will we always refrain from and shun whatever it is that we have not yet encountered?

From comfort to changes

It is understandable that we are sometimes wary of changes. We attempt to find balance and we crave comfort for as much as possible. Maybe you’ve experienced something bad in the...

Are you having self-doubts lately? Feeling anxious or conscious all the time? Do you think you can’t do anything? When you are having low self-esteem, you get those kinds of thoughts. Occasionally, we would sometimes feel down and doubt ourselves. But if it becomes a regular thing, it’s possible that you have low self-esteem. You think negatively of yourself. Doubt and guilt cloud your thoughts.

How you see yourself and how you measure your capabilities compose your self-esteem. And it can greatly impact your everyday life. Ideally, we should all appreciate ourselves and accept who we are. However, for various reasons, there are those who find it difficult to realize...

Part of being human is wanting something. And we all want to be happy, right? We work hard to have those things we desire. It’s alright to have something to aim or covet, it keeps us going. But how much of wanting is healthy and enough?

No one should stop anyone to pursue whatever makes them happy (as long as no harm is done to other people). Though we’re here to remind you that it’s also important to slow down, pause, and appreciate what is in front of you. Because sometimes, we’re so focused on what we want that we overlook what we already have. Remember, the happiness that we seek can be found in the little things.

Our personal pursuit of happiness...

Stepping outside the comfort zone isn’t always ideal for many of us. Actually, we are trying to avoid stress as much as possible. We try to get by to be comfortable. Comfort is something we all want, but not always need. We gotta take risks too.

It’s not that easy to be taking risks, though. The unexpected is not exactly what we aim to welcome. But if we step out of our comfort zone, we get to explore more stuff. We could discover untapped potential. And most importantly, we can really find growth.

Why we need to get uncomfortable

By being uncomfortable, we only mean stepping out of the familiar zone. There are actually many good reasons why you should get out of...

Being confident does not just mean not being shy. It is not just one trait of a person. It can be a personality, too. It’s okay to be timid and aloof, but in a lot of instances in our life, we would need to express or portray ourselves. But you probably kinda know that. For many people, confidence really has a lot of advantages in many aspects.

What does it mean to have confidence? According to Psychology Today, confidence is having a “realistic sense”  and “feeling secure” of what you can do. Moreover, a sense of confidence is also a crucial aspect of communication. When we present ourselves, those around us would like assurance that they can...

You’ve probably heard this very clichéd quote a bunch of times: “Nobody’s perfect.” Yeah, it rings some truth to it, but it gets thrown a lot so much that people just take it for granted. We all have flaws if you believe it is the way of life. And it is okay. What’s not is when people are not acknowledging their own mistakes while causing others some trouble. This time, “nobody's perfect” is more of an excuse rather than a perspective.

In life, you can’t avoid meeting people you don’t agree with. But there are also times when everyone seems to disagree with your actions. No, we’re not suggesting to conform or follow...

Crazy how in a span of a few weeks, we’re all feeling like we live in a different era. Not allowed and not feeling safe to go out, all work needs to be done at home, all connections kept in the virtual world. We’re all left with whoever we live with - ourselves for the most part. In the first year, we thought it would end in no time. Month after month, we’re expecting, hoping, and planning for better days. But as months passed, our perspectives changed. Some became more hopeful, some started to be hopeless, and some simply went with the flow. 

With all things being uncertain, we realized it’s best to live with what we have. Even if that means staying at...

Are you one of those people victimized by the sudden economic shift caused by the pandemic? It’s either you’re laid-off, paid less, or simply trying to escape the daunting rat race. Whichever one resonates with you, one thing is for sure. You are reading this article in hopes of crossing the bridge between the corporate world and entrepreneurship. 

The past year made us realize how unstable it is to work a job and get paid a fixed salary. Working on one income makes it even worse. It made us rethink not only how we handle our finances but also how we live our lives completely. We’ve seen how easy it is for big corporations to let go of their employees....

     The pandemic’s atrocities took the world by storm creating more chaos in our minds than we can handle. We’re consumed by the fear and the uncertainty of how life will be moving forward.
