You Have The Power
Cliche again, I know, but these are the exact words I need to hear some days. Maybe they’ll help you too. There’s a million reasons why you’re not satisfied in life, and I can almost guarantee one of those reasons is that you don’t believe in yourself enough. I often find myself beating myself up…

Late Night Rant #2 – Divine Downloads
I’m not sure what to write today, so I’m just going to rant for a little while. One thing I’d like to talk about is my health, a usual on this blog. One of the most frustrating parts of my life nowadays has been my inability to stay fully disciplined on the weekends. Frustrating is…

The Half-Ass Prince: How I Became a Massage Therapist
Nearly 10 months ago, I willingly embarked on a journey to become a massage therapist. It’s beyond cliché to admit that everything has changed since then, but honestly that’s the truth.

The Process of Failure and Getting Up Again
Let’s just start by saying the basic truth: being great is not easy. A quote I like to think about is “In order to be in the top 1%, you have to be willing to do what the other 99% will not.” This means not only working harder than the other 99, but being smarter.…

No More Mr. Wayyyyy Too Nice Guy
So let’s get serious here. I’ve gone my whole life avoiding conflict, avoiding real challenge and really anything that might help me grow into a successful human being. I aim to please people, I always do what I’m asked and try to do no wrong. I live my life trying to avoid making anyone angry,…

The Subtle Art of Giving A Little Bit of a Fuck
Over the past few weeks I’ve been on a self-help binge. This includes learning new things on improving mental health, improving my morning routine, having better fitness and getting in better workouts, eating better, etc. While all of these have benefits in their own right, the challenge that’s proved both the most difficult and the…
