Do you believe in love at first sight? We’ve heard fairy tales about it, read books, heard songs, even watched movies where love at first sight is the main premise.

A while ago, I was having a difficult time finding inspiration. Starting the day relatively early was one thing still had the ability to do, as I’m always eager for that first cup of coffee. After that, though, I was regularly losing my way. I knew what had to be done, but I kept dragging […]
Abraham Maslow, humanist psychologist, coined the term self-actualization in the 1950s. It refers to the innate drive that motivates people to reach their full potential and become the best version of themselves.
