Is it possible to be the best version of our selves? If we put our lives into a simulation and made every right decision possible for our entire lives who would that person be? After we get to the end of our lives how will we stack up to that simulation? Will we be 50%…

Do The Hard Things
Staying in your comfort zone is so easy. We love it, of course we do, its our comfort zone. The place makes us feel good. It helps us to avoid being stressed out. It keeps our fears at bay. But it is an empty place. There is no satisfaction, no achievement, and no goals waiting…
Why does the Friday Rally suck so bad?
Inconsistent Lazy Not committed These are some of the attributes that I have displayed when trying to write Friday Rally posts lately. There is no excuse for lapsing on my efforts.
