I Hate My Job...Here's What I Learned
My first job was a delight, my second job not as quite. My second job was as a pharmacy technician for a major multi-million dollar drug store and it was a nightmare. I was in the busiest store within our district, underpaid, with bad management and at times horrible customers. At the time I would have given anything to get away from the job that was sucking the life out of me one prescription bottle at a time, but looking back, I am happy I stuck with it for as long as I did because it gave me a well-defined list of life lessons:

Art & Fear
We live in such influential times, we are often molded by what we witness on a day to day basis. With modern technology, there's definitely a sensory overload that I know I experience. The world is becoming so overpopulated as well, everybody's doing everything and anything. You can be a witness from thousands of miles away by a simple click of a button. It's undeniable that the options of self-expression are damn near infinite. I think that's mainly why we scrutinize our snap and Insta stories more often than the people who actually look at them. Perhaps sometimes, we become too sensitive to our own flaws. And maybe we can thank filters for that. Painting a view through rose-colored lenses for people to see us.

Success Comes to Those Not Seeking Success
"Luck Favors the Brave" In early 2003, I read an article titled "Be Lucky — it’s an easy skill to learn" Richard Wiseman, a psychologist at the University of Hertfordshire. The title, I disagree with. The concept, however, is solid. The success rate of a person who tries stuff is clearly better than one who does not.

How to Stay Sane When Your Laptop Stops Working
It’s every busy person’s waking nightmare, potentially causing untold stress and hardship and striking fear into the hearts of even the most resolute. No, it’s not the cancellation of The Walking Dead. Even worse, it’s when your laptop isn’t functioning as it should or has unexpectedly stopped working altogether! In this article, I’m talking mainly about the hardware side of things. Hardware – that’s the actual machine itself and its internal organs rather than the software that drives it. Software… now that’s a whole other thing to ponder another time.

Balancing Work and Life
We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list. ―First Lady Michelle Obama Many entrepreneurs and small business owners find themselves in a situation where work seems to have overtaken all other aspects of life. Starting a business is exciting and we all know how much time is required to get our businesses off the ground and keep them afloat, especially in the first 3-5 years. And it’s true that a bit of stress can improve our efficiency and thought processes. However, if you’re feeling like your life is out of control, or often feeling guilty for choosing one role over another, or if you’re having trouble with focus or sleep, it might be time to take a look at how your work and life are balancing and consider making some adjustments. Your situation is not uncommon! The Canadian Mental Health Association states that 58% of Canadians report “overload” as a result of the pressures associated with work, home and family,

Avoiding Disenchantment
Today I was sent an anonymous ask over on theinkstainsblog Tumblr page asking the question: how can I stick with a story even when I lose interest with it, and how can I know this is the right story for me if I'm getting bored? Now, sticking with our stories is something I bet an awful lot of us struggle with at times (god knows I do) so I think this is something that’s important for us to focus on. I’m going to split the answer into three main parts in order to give proper focus to the question - how to stick with a story during writing, how to keep your excitement for a story, and how to know if this is the right story for you so keep an eye out for parts two and three!
