I’m a guy. I’ve used tinder casually, matched girls, talked to them, and even met some of them in person, but it wasn’t easy. It’s difficult to match girls who are not bots, and when you do match them, they will rarely message you first…

Climb Out Of Your Tangled Rut
There are times, when we all get stuck in a tangled rut. There are 100’s of reasons, as to why people feel like they can’t escape what is keeping them from moving forward. Sometimes, we develop bad or unhealthy habits and patterns, that make our days appear dark and dull and the hours drag on…

The most important study tip can be boiled down to one word — awareness.
There is no satisfaction. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

WHEN IN DOUBT
Clean. Organize. Fold. Wash dishes. Put clothes away. Do the laundry. Clean the fridge. Reorganize a closet. Find some beautiful music (Pete Bradshaw on Pandora as of late). Turn off the tv. Weed a garden. Turn the phone to silent. Complete one task you have been meaning to get to. Distract yourself from…

Who am I? This is a question that we all ask ourselves from time to time. This is often a question that is hard to answer unless you stop and think for a while. We all wear “different hats”, have different roles that we take on each day so who we are is often a hard question to answer. When I think about it…

Thank you for sharing this. It seems that many of the Compostelle paths outside of Spain do not receive the attention they deserve. And while it is regrettable that the sheer existence of the path does not positively impact the adjacent villages and small towns the way the Compostelle does in Spain, your article might encourage pilgrims to start…
I ain’t as young as I once was.
Sometime each month, I encourage you to take some time to reflect. I want you to really dig deep and become as self-aware as possible.
To do so successfully, I highly recommend you totally unplug, fully focus and actually jot down notes. This doesn’t need to be an…

Do you reflect?
There are many articles about reflecting on your past, whether it’s yesterday, specific events, or your whole life. You reflect on your mistakes, you learn from them, you grow. Visit the past, but never dwell there. Sounds simple.

I can’t trust a person who doesn’t like to be alone or quiet every once in a while. I am the oldest so I would always test my parents to see my limits which landed me several consequences. Being on punishment I couldn’t leave the house, talk on the phone, watch TV, none of that. I would come home…

Last Monday, I sat in the coffee shop and heard a man spread some of his negativity. He conversed with another individual and they went on about how dreadful Mondays are. I have written about the happiness dip that people experience early in the week, but these new…

It has always bothered me that most New Year’s resolutions seem to revolve around losing weight and getting in shape. Gyms especially bank on this, with classes and machines overflowing those first two weeks in January, only to slim down to those who have been going all along. The attrition is a perfect…

This is a short response to a good article I read about Gratitude Journaling.
Finding YOUR true passion + purpose
There’s something so special about how my passion for athletic training doesn’t just involve “liking sports” anymore. Soccer isn’t the only thing driving me now. Of course, I’d like to work in soccer one day, but before I can do that I have to get better…at being a leader, a clinician, an…

This piece was a fabulous reminder, Zdravko! It’s all common sense, but many of us neglect our health and then have a big hole with which to dig out. When we take care of ourselves, everything else falls into place easier. All my best to you!

There’s successful people all around us..on tv, social media, newspapers. We imagine the mansions, jewelry, fancy cars, wealth, fame, fans. What we don’t envision is the blood, sweat and tears it took to get to the top.

You have to really WANT to stop drinking. I went to AA for help, a lot of people there believe you need the help of a higher power. You can’t stop drinking on your own, you need support but it won’t work unless you really want to stop drinking. I’m surrounded by people who drink, I’ve made the choice not too, it’s hard at first but gets easier. Try AA . Hope I’ve helped ?

Changing your life is a Marathon not a Sprint
