If at first you don't succeed

11/12/2020

All those epic videos of people doing amazing usually happen after lots of epic fails.

To all the students sitting exams
To all the broken-hearted
To those facing mental health challenges
To the lonely and rejected
To the anxious and afraid
To those who are having family issues
To the sick and those who are just sick of life
To those who are facing their biggest challenges so far
To the tired and worn out
To those trying to keep their head above water
To the ones who cry themselves to sleep at night
To the ones desperately trying to maintain their perfect veneer
While underneath they are falling to pieces
To the ones who are self-medicating, self-loathing and self-harming
Hang in there - don't give up
The world needs you!
You're stronger than you think - you got this!

Portrait of Lotte

I love this video. Portrait of Lotte was filmed by Dutch artist and filmmaker, Frans Hofmeester who filmed his daughter every week for 20 years. It's a beautiful reminder that even though you are just a teenager, you have come so far and accomplished so much. Even if your parents are not filmmakers, you could make a photographic journey of your life so far. You could even write a list of things that you have learnt or achieved since birth. You've learnt to walk, talk, read, write, ride a bike, do math, perhaps you can surf, ride a skateboard, code, paint, pole vault or play a musical instrument - you are awesome!

Life Lessons from Ninja Warrior

26/7/2018

I have a confession to make - I love Australian Ninja Warrior.
Here are some life lessons from the 2018 series:

Girls are just as capable as boys
Never give up - plenty of contestants from the first series failed but they trained harder and tried again in 2018.
Hard work pays off - all of the contestants trained a lot for the show
Believe in yourself!
