What I Learned Being Raised by Immigrant Parents
Growing up in a Russian family I didnât think we were “immigrants” at all. I didnât think that we were any different than my neighbors to the right who spoke Spanish or neighbors to the left who spoke Korean. My parents have a deeper story than I did. My parents left Russia for good when […]
Social Media Is the Death of Your Joy
When we are browsing through social media feeds, we are subconsciously allowing other peoplesâ lives to tap into our joys.

It’s Not the End of the World
Iâm going to start off by quoting Vincent Peale from the book âThe Power of Positive Thinking.â This is a fact that you must never forget – there are people who have overcome every conceivable difficult situation, even the one in which you now find yourself and which to you seems utterly hopeless.

Positive Obessions
Oprah would wake up at 5:30am every single day when she aired her âThe Oprah Winfrey Showâ for 25 years straight. No one saw through the lens if she was tired, sick, or had a cold. No one saw if she missed a line or if she wasnât fully prepared. But for 25 year straight, […]

You’re Making It Too Difficult
Life can be really hard but when you start doing something hard it becomes so easy. Human beings have a continuous effort to over exaggerate everything in their lives. When we were dropped off as a child at school on our first day, we were clueless and blind to the obstacles ahead of us. We […]
I Don’t Believe in Failure
Failure is a redirection of life. If you think youâve failed at something, you gotta get up and do it again or do something different.

2 Years Without Social Media

What I Learned from Shopping Once in an Entire Year
I realized that the need for buying clothes is a myth. It doesnât exist. We make it up ourselves and we make a decision to make it a need. I realized that nobody cares what you wear to work, parties, or outings. No one noticed that I didnât go shopping. No one will ever notice […]
