TikTok Is Changing How Young People Think — And Not for the Better.

TikTok is one of the most powerful influences on young people today. What started as a place for fun and creativity has turned into something much more serious — a platform that is quietly shaping how people think, act, and even see themselves. The biggest concern isn’t the dancing or the jokes. It’s the way TikTok rewards a certain way of thinking and punishes anything outside of it. It pushes the same values over and over: seek attention, share everything, follow trends, and stay in line with what’s popular. It doesn’t encourage self-respect, discipline, or original thought the things that actually build character. Many people, especially girls, start to believe they need to look or act a certain way just to feel seen. They base their self-worth on how many views or likes they get. And over time, they stop thinking for themselves. They repeat opinions they’ve seen online. They copy others to feel accepted. They post vulnerable content for strangers, thinking it’s a form of confidence...

Blog 3 - Modern Standards: The Confusion of Love and Money.

In today’s world, the concept of love has become increasingly distorted—especially under the influence of social media. For many, standards have shifted from emotional depth to material value. A Birkin bag, designer labels, or expensive dinners have become symbols of affection. Somewhere along the way, love became transactional and conditional. This modern mindset pushes the idea that if a man isn’t spending a certain amount of money on you, he doesn’t care. We often hear phrases like,  “If he wanted to, he would.”  But this blanket statement overlooks a crucial truth: a good man  does  what he can within his means. Whether he’s a father, a brother, or a partner, he shows love through support, effort, and consistency,not just money. Love is not measured in pounds or possessions. It’s in the way someone listens, supports your dreams and tries—even when it’s not easy. When we equate love with luxury, we risk losing sight of the genuine acts of devotion that money can’t...

Blog 2: Staying Grounded with Family Values

When you’re young, it’s easy to get influenced by peers. That’s why having a strong foundation of values is essential. Without it, you’re vulnerable to being led in any direction — even the wrong one. As a teenager or young adult, there’s often a strong desire to move out, explore, and gain independence. While that feeling is valid, what many people overlook is how important these years are for staying close to your family. These are the years where your values are either built or broken. Being at home gives your family a chance to remind you of your core beliefs — your faith, your morals, and your purpose. A lot of friends in our generation won’t check you when you’re doing something wrong. Instead, they’ll encourage it, laugh about it, or join in. They won’t always hold you accountable, especially when it comes to things that only bring short-term fun but long-term consequences. Some friends might seem like they have your best interests at heart, but their influence can still lead yo...

Cut Off Fake Friends & Choose the Right Circle

One of the most important rules in life is protecting your energy — and that starts with the people you allow into your circle. Real friends challenge you. They give you constructive criticism, not empty praise. They don’t feed your delusions or sugarcoat the truth to keep you comfortable. Real friends want to see you grow — and growth doesn’t happen in a comfort zone. The people who truly care about you will call you out when necessary, because they want to see you evolve, not stay stagnant. Your environment shapes your standards. The behaviors and mindsets you’re constantly exposed to will eventually feel normal to you. If you’re always around people who drink excessively, don’t set goals, or gossip constantly, you’re far more likely to adopt those same habits — consciously or not. You can’t surround yourself with low-value individuals and still expect to live a high-standard life. It doesn’t work that way. Choose your friends like you choose a partner. Look beyond how they treat you...
