Creativity is associated with imagination, originality, innovation, building something from scratch, creating something. Creativity is always linked with drawing, music, writing, cinema, theater, arts in general, let’s say. It sounds like we are talking about an exclusive club of people, the creators. It sounds like a club that uses discrimination to exist. Do they discriminate …

RECALIBRATE
I am talking as someone who needs a recalibration every now and again. I must be honest about this part. Life can be like that. You can lose focus. You can be distracted. You can be busy, preoccupied, weak, vulnerable, etc. You can be going through some personal issues. It could be a financial …
RELATIONSHIP PART III
I watched bits and pieces of Will and Jada’s red table interview and I frankly thought it was awesome. I am a little biased because I love Will (he is the Fresh Prince) and Jada (she was Jason’s lyric after all!) as actors and performers and their relationship is unique. The interview itself was singularly …
EGO CHECK
I was on the bus, heading to work. It is always a great experience to take public transportation in our great city of Montréal. I live in a very cosmopolitan and mixed neighborhood, so I get to see all kinds of people and I just love it. It was 8am and the bus was full …
CHEATING
So, let’s talk about cheating, shall we? I can see some people cringe. It is OK, we are just going to blast those cheaters. I will blast them a bit because I know they are not that bad. They are not rapists or killers or molesters. They just cheat. As far as sins go, that …
CLARITY MOMENTS.
I have these moments. I call them “clarity moments”. They occur every now and then. They don’t happen regularly to be honest. They are quite elementary by their simplicity. I call them “clarity moments” because things are put in perspective, it is as simple as that. It doesn’t take me a lot to get it. …
I NEED PEOPLE.
Life can get hard. Life can get hectic, mean and crazy. Life isn’t in the business of offering blessings and gifts regularly. I don’t have to tell you that. I am sure you already know it. Life might give you a break occasionally but mostly, you will find yourself running left and right to make …
STOP WORRYING ABOUT WHAT DIDN’T HAPPEN.
Ok, it is easy to tell anybody to stop thinking about something that must have been dear to them. I get it. It is easy for me to say that after processing whatever went wrong in my own life. Time goes by and it gives you perspective. It helps you understand things a bit better. …
THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE.
What stands out? Let me be specific. What good moment stands out? Let’s face it. The bad moments stand out the way oil stands out when mixed with water. Those unfortunate events are branded with hot iron in our brains and souls. They are incredibly hard to forget or even deal with. And I get …
DON’T LET OTHER PEOPLE DEFINE YOU.
Why would they define you anyway? You don’t have anything to say for yourself? Are they going to tell you what to like, who to love, what to do, how to think, what to wear, what to eat, where to live, how to walk, etc.? Why would you let them? Why do them that humongous …
