We Check Our Phones 150 Times a Day

That’s the average and it’s too much.

The phone has become our life and not a tool for a better life.

Any excuses for not taking action today will only make it worse. Distracted parents, unhappy children, a lack of…

Happy Worthday

We celebrate birthdays once a year but most never spend even an hour let alone a day to celebrate their self-worth.

How are you valued and who values you the most?

What are your absolute best top two personality traits?

I Can’t or I Won’t

There is a big difference between “I can’t” and “I won’t”.

In the end, “I can’t” is just a lack of confidence.

The First 6 Seconds

Advertisers now have research that shows Millennial buyers will give them only 6 seconds to connect and make their point.

The same world that gives us this very short attention span also impacts interpersonal relationships.

It’s too much too soon and it never produces a happier, healthier person over the long term.

Binge on Accomplishments

We choose content on Netflix and then drill down and binge until we’re finished.

We don’t like it when we have to wait for TV shows week after week.

What if we lived life like we enjoy Netflix?

The Next Boost of Confidence

Confidence is perishable like food.

For some reason, we let it get stale and discard it.

But self-doubt never goes bad and it has a long shelf life.
