Refer everything to God
We really have to learn how to refer everything to God. This should be like an instinct, an urge that needs to be corresponded. We should always remember that the constant and ultimate parameter of our life is God, since he is the one who sets the final conditions and purpose ...

To the stars!
I’ve become very picky when it comes to movies. More selective, critical and unforgiving. When I watch a movie, I’m fully engaged; I get inside the story and into the characters, and I let the story and the characters get inside me. I watch to experience and not just to be entertained. A great movie time for me is to sit in ...

Digong’s marching order for PSC: bring sports to the poor

Setting realistic health goals for the New Year (Last of two parts)
For better skin As I turned 30, another mentor of mine (yes, I surround myself with wise people) told me to take care of my skin. Ten years since that day, I am thankful that she called me out for not paying attention to my face and skin! While there are many great skin care products out there ...

More power, more temptations
