We don’t always get what we want in life. This we know as fact. But just because we don’t get what we want doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t continue to put in the work. It’s within the times we fail, that the greatest lessons become available to learn. The key is wanting to do so. I wasn’t sure what direction I was going to go this week but something I keep circling back to is the idea of taking action. So here we go. We all have choices in everything we do. Each day, and our l

I have found far too often that I myself, as well as many of those around me, spend a lot of time worrying on how to fix something or make it better because we hate to give up.

Our lives are meant to be dynamic so there are guaranteed to be many components that make up who we are. Wo

Most often when we think of strength we think of physical aptitude. How much muscle mass someone has stored to exert physical energy. Common images that come to mind might be flexed arms, a six pack, or strong legs. Or you might think of someone lifting weights or some other heavy object.
