Lucid dreaming is simply the ability to know that you are dreaming when you are dreaming. Once one realizes that they are in a dream, he/she can explore and even manipulate aspects of the dream. Usually the realization of dreaming comes with some sort of trigger. Maybe you’re dreaming that you’re on a paradise island, […]

Confidence Doesn’t Come from Looks, it Comes from Within
If I were to write a letter to my teenage self, I would write, “Dear Andrew, Confidence has nothing to do with your outer appearance.” I was a fat kid growing up. I don’t think I can deny that. In high school, I reached about 195 pounds. I honestly didn’t like what I saw. With […]

What is God Like? A Very Hard Question to Answer
I know I have no qualifications of describing God. This blog post pretty much means nothing, because I have no knowledge of what God could be, or whether a God exists. I believe in a higher power, that much I know. With that being said, this is who God is to me. I just hope […]

The Routine I Use to Stay Grounded
There are a few things that I do that try to stay grounded while working through stress throughout the day. Work and other priorities are not my idea of relaxation, but there are more than just those 8 hours of the day for me to relax and have some me time. I’ll just give you […]

Water – My Greatest Fear is Something Essential to Life
I have a fear of drowning. I would really love to get rid of this fear because during the summer, the most fun thing to do is going to the beach, or hit the pool. My place is right by the beach, and yet, I don’t go. The fear could be irrational because I hardly […]

The Biggest Life Lesson I Learned in 2019
The greatest life lesson I learned last year is to not be scared to go for something you want. I guess there’s two lessons another one is to be authentic in everything you do. I’ll try to find a way to connect these things together because the two together will help me accomplish a lot […]

Sometimes My Greatest Strength is My Greatest Weakness
A thing that makes me unique is that I’m a deep thinker. I don’t like thinking on the surface level, or short-term thinking. The decisions I make should make a difference beyond just me and the situation at hand. I think that’s what makes me a good problem solver. When I come up with a […]

Falling in Love is Easy, Staying in Love is Hard
Love is a fickle thing. Falling love could come out of anywhere and at any time. It could be love at first sight. You could fall in love with someone after the first date. It may even take longer than that as a lifelong friendship turns into a relationship. Falling in love is definitely the […]

Be Known for What You Love, Not What You Do
Who am I? If you know me, you know that I’m a digital marketer. I’ve done search marketing for going on four years with Kingston/HyperX. I run the search campaigns for both domestic and international markets. I also help try to optimize the website for things like search engines, user experience, and conversion. This is […]

What is the Urgency Effect and How to Work Around It
We do it all the time. There’s something that we have to do that’s pretty important, along with the list of not-so-important things. We tend to do the things that aren’t really necessary because there is a sense of urgency tied to them. If you’re writing a paper, and someone sends you a text, you […]

Don’t Treat Your Partner like a Therapist
It’s really easy to confide in the person who is closest to you. You tell him/her all of your secrets, your pains, and your frustrations. You know that your significant other will always have your back, but be weary of being too dependent on your partner when it comes to your emotional health. When looking […]

Why Positive Thinking Doesn’t Work
If you work with me, you might think that I’m pretty pessimistic. I wouldn’t consider myself pessimistic, but one who doesn’t dwell only on the positives. Thinking positive is a great thing, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that positivity is going to occur. Just like anticipating the good, one must also anticipate the bad and […]
