Forgot how to have fun? It’s Time to Put it Back on Your To-Do List! Once you forget how to have fun, the rest of your life suffers. Think about it, when was the last time you had fun? I mean, the rip-snorting, laugh-so-hard-you-almost-pee-in-your-pants (or maybe you do) kind of fun. Can’t remember? I thought so. Fun is grossly underrated. We get so wrapped up in being serious.

How Self-Consciousness May Be Helping or Hurting You

How to Reach Personal Goals – It Requires Change
How to Reach Personal Goals Determining how we’re going to get the results we want almost always requires that we change something. You know the saying, same methods, same results. If you don’t step forward, you will always be in the same place. That stands true for most everything we do. Whether we are looking to make changes in our personal life or health (like me needing to lower my cholesterol) or to increasing our income; or maybe we’ve got our eye on making a broader difference taking a stand…
Why Forgiveness Is Important in Life
Why forgiveness is important in life We’ve all been hurt by the words or actions of others and/or felt the sting of remorse over our own choices. These hurts often leave us with lasting and festering wounds. Wounds that ooze feelings of bitterness and anger and that keep us feeling trapped, powerless and down.
