Although I did research the different types of book publishing and the advantages and disadvantages for each of them, I wish I’d see this article back then before publishing my work. But oh well. Better late than never, right?

Thoughtsoftheday: Show compassion, because we all know Karma can be a real bitch!
Hello, all. For quite some time I was thinking if I should keep or change my Opinionated Wednesdays posts to something else. After much thought about what to do with it, I decided on changing it to Thoughts of the day Wednesdays. Anyway, I came across this short film on Facebook starring Alicia Keys and immediately thought that I wanted to write a post about it. Continue reading
WhatisAngieuptoMondays: I want to become more passionate.
When you read the title the word, passionate, is not what you may be thinking. What I mean when I say passionate is that I want to become more passionate with my goals, ambitions and what I aspire to be. The things I did initially as a hobby and continue to do as a hobby, I like doing it but I would not say I am per se burning with passion for it as others may expect.
I want to be able to do some things that I do without ever thinking it is a chore. I want to get to the point that I am so passionate about what I do, that no matter how many times I do it or no matter how may times I fail, I will still be very passionate about it and continue doing it.

Don’t be jealous. Be proud of your own achievements!
Hello, and good evening. With today’s post I wanted to talk a little bit about jealousy, envy and insecurities.
If I may be so bold to say, we humans have all, at one point in our lives, gotten jealous over someone. I admit that yes, even I, have gotten envious and jealous. After all, I’m only human. Right?
For example, in the past (and even now) whenever I tried my best to achieve something, it would always end up being average or below my expectations. And others would accomplish their goals without much trouble and effort whatsoever. Whenever I would think about it, I would become so frustrated! It felt so unfair. Many times I thought about giving up.
As a child, my parents always told me not to be jealous of others, because I did not know what they had to go through, to get what they have. I have to remind myself even now that everyone’s progress in their respective careers and journey through life, will be different.
So, next time you feel like cursing someone on their achievements, STOP. And congratulate them. They deserve whatever blessing that comes their way. One day yours will come, too. Furthermore, logically speaking, if that person was facing ruin, would you be jealous of them, too?
We must always remember that every person experiences jealousy and have their own insecurities. Some more than others. Those who seem to have it all, have more insecurities than anyone else can ever imagine. They are just better at hiding theirs than others.
Moreover, if I sit down and think about what all I have achieved until now, I can certainly say, I have come a long way. I should not be jealous of anyone because my achievements are no small feat either. Though, my achievements may be small, it does not make them any less amazing. Every small achievement will gradually lead to where you need to be.
Instead of being jealous and worrying about someone else’s quick achievements, believe that YOU are awesome and YOU will be AWESOME!
Anyway, my blog post has now come to an end and I would like to know what you all think? Do you think what I say holds some truth or do you have something more to add? Please, let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. I would be happy to hear your thoughts.
