There is a desire to be loved, liked, adored, cared for, wanted and needed. The list goes on and on. Interestingly, as you chase this desire, it often eludes you. 

You begin to wonder if, truly, it was a great idea chasing after it. Suddenly doubts fill your mind, followed by rage. 

What if you are trying too hard. What if you are expecting too much? Take some time to chill in these thoughts. 

There is beauty in knowing who you are and staying that way in situations when you aren't recognized, praised or adored.

You are missing a million light-years passing by without your knowledge because you stay plugged into your phone.

You are growing apart from your partner, suppressing the emotions you need to show to your children, your friends and becoming alien to yourself.

The truth is I am deeply rooted in my Christian faith which compass my actions, thoughts, behaviour. Here are three insights I want you to have for you to stay authentic in a crazy world.
