Embracing 22: The Bridge Between Youth and Adulthood

Being 22 feels like standing at the threshold of two worlds—one foot still in the carefree days of youth, and the other stepping into the responsibilities and uncertainties of adulthood. It's a unique age, full of vibrant energy and boundless possibilities, yet shadowed by a lingering sense of uncertainty about what lies ahead. At 22, life is a blend of excitement and confusion.

Embracing Transformational Forgiveness

 In my early years, I used to hold grudges and find it difficult to forgive those who wronged me. Whether it was a friend's betrayal or a colleague's dishonesty, I would cling to the hurt and anger, waiting for an apology or some form of restitution. This constant cycle of resentment took a toll on my emotional well-being and strained my relationships with others. Then, one day, I stumbled upon the concept of transformational forgiveness while reading Jay Shetty's "How to Think Like A Monk." It struck a chord deep within me and sparked a desire to change my perspective on forgiveness.

I decided to apply this principle in my life. It wasn't an overnight transformation, but I started by consciously letting go of past grievances and releasing ...

Trusting the Process of Manifestation: How to Attract Your Desires into Your Life

The ancient law of attraction has been around for centuries, yet only recently has it become a popular concept. The law of attraction suggests that the universe responds to our thoughts and feelings and that by focusing on positive outcomes and having faith in the universe, we can manifest our goals and dreams. This has become known as "trusting the process of manifestation." A manifestation is a powerful tool that can help us create the life we desire. However, the process of manifestation can sometimes be challenging, and we may find ourselves feeling frustrated or discouraged when our desires don't seem to be materializing.

However, this process is not always s...
