The High Achievers Club

It is undeniable—we live in a harsh world that burdens us with responsibilities and pressures us to excel. Every single time. 

It’s a tough competition, not with others around you but with the society that always watches and always expects. And so we run around, do things, and chase a life that the world tells us to live. Sometimes we go by, living life when we ...

It cannot be emphasized enough that you have to take care of yourself first so that you can better take care of others. But as much as we want to stay healthy and avoid burnout, our daily activities and life circumstances often take a toll on our health and well-being. Consequently, we sometimes lose motivation, inspiration, and even our sense of joy.
