Passion is “a strong or extravagant fondness, enthusiasm, or desire for anything.” It starts as a simple curiosity or a feeling of falling off of Niagara Falls. It rushes in and completely takes over every decision you make and fuels you each and every day. Yet over time, you start to feel like you are leaving pieces of yourself behind and you feel more drained and lost than ever before. You become bored with what is in front of you and the career you chose is not meeting your expectations. The first job out of college no longer seems worthy of your time and the true meaning of what you are meant to do becomes a shadow over your head. The passion that once flamed your career path is gone, leaving barely an ember of hope. It is the day to day routines that slowly allows that flame to burn out. Routines are great when building self discipline and learning how to show up everyday. But when you become complacent within those routines, your mind loses focuses. When your brain doesn’t h

Your values make you who you are, yet many people don’t fully know how to even define or explain their values. Your values dictate how you act, respond to situations, and where you place your time and energy in life. For example, someone who places high value on career success will be driven to work more hours, spend greater time toward making advances at work, perhaps at the sacrifice of time with family and friends. A person who places a high value on family may chose to forgo a better job placement or position because it will impede on evenings and weekend time with their family. What you value dictates the course of your day to day life, but also your future. Do you know what you truly value in your life and the world around you? If you don’t, you may be a person who is unhappy in life or feeling dissatisfied with your current life status, yet you can’t put your finger on why you are feeling this way. Everyone should know their values , because research shows that there are spe

You have a big project coming up, or a bunch of tasks, and are overwhelmed by the thought of it. This overload happens to me way too often, [1] but once I began using a mind map to clarify the direction, the project and tasks don’t seem so frightening. Whatever your position or place of work is, it is natural that you will have more than one task to handle at any given moment. This could be due to hectic deadlines, a large project made up of many different tasks, or simply you’re loading more and more on yourself in hopes to get more done; how’s the latter been working out for you? Prior to mind mapping, I jotted all tasks I knew of onto my notepad or in workflowy . On one hand, this is great for as you complete a task, you cross it over and have the amazing feeling of getting things done. [2] On the other hand, I continuously felt that I wasn’t getting ‘the right things’ done. I was crossing off tasks left and right, but are they in line with my overall goals and targets? Or am I

Shining by  Csekk István   I’m a media designer, visual artist and art director… or simply a hopeless daydreamer based in Budapest, Hungary. I will probably never quite figure out what qualifies me for all these, and will forever doubt if anything I do is any good. But I will keep on doing them. Why? Let’s say the voices tell me to.

really-shit : Breaking through the prejudice South African photographer Justin Dingwall’s photographic series  Albus brings us closer and more intimate to an oftentimes excluded, and in some extreme situations even hunted, group of the population: the albinos.  To bring light on such a critical issue in a developing region, Justin worked with Hopa and other local South Africans to promote wider awareness and acceptance of albinos, while forging new dialogues to prevent any further prejudice. follow our website for more | twitter
