If You Want Something, You Have To Go for It and Do Whatever It Takes

Hey friend, This may seem hard to hear, but you need to hear it. This comes from love. I’ve heard you complain so much about your life and how things aren’t better. You want a lot of things, but aren’t doing anything about it. In life, if you want something (whether an accomplishment or material possession), you have to go for it.

If You Want to Be Successful, You Have to Take Care of Yourself

For some reason, people think that they have to practically kill themselves in order to be successful. Although it is important to put in time and effort, it is more important to have balance. It is not healthy to work 60+ hour work weeks or make yourself a martyr at work.

Life Changes, and That's Okay

If you feel disappointed with yourself because you feel as if your life didn't go the way you initially planned, I want you to know that it's okay. You shouldn't feel like a failure because your first plan didn't go according to plan.
When I first started college, I planned on being a computer programmer. It's what I spent a good chunk of my high school years

You're a Lot Tougher Than You Think You Are

Hello, my friend. If you feel jaded, unmotivated, or helpless, I want you to know that it's okay. You're human. You're allowed to feel that way sometimes.
But hopefully this is just temporary. You can, and you will, overcome this.
You are brave enough to face this.
You are strong enough to overcome this.
You are brilliant and it's time to show it.

Why You Should Surround Yourself with Awesome People

Jim Rohn, a famous motivational speaker, is known for saying that “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” I’ve heard variations of that adage in speeches, videos on YouTube, and from a close colleague.
My colleague told me that that her mom taught her that early in life to encourage her to hang out with people who were

Keep Moving Forward, No Matter What!

If you’re like me, you sometimes get stuck in life. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and experience “analysis paralysis” and just sit there overthinking things. Sometimes I get stressed out and want to avoid my current situation. It is easy to get stuck, and even easier to stay stuck for a long time. During times like these, it’s most important to find a way to

It’s All About Balance

Too much or too little of anything isn’t a good thing. Scarcity is bad, and so is excessiveness. Not having enough food leads to starvation and too much leads to gluttony. This concept applies to much more.
Finding balance is the never-ending struggle in life.
Balance applies to everything. Be passionate about what you do, but don’t be obsessed to the

Accept Yourself

Every single day, you get a chance to be who you want to be. Be the version of yourself that you’re proud to be.
Be yourself. No one else has your ideas and experience. No one else lives life in your shoes and sees life through your lenses. You are truly unique.
You may face pressure that threatens your self-identity. You might be pressured to

You Define Your Destiny

People sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that their lives are predetermined, that their lives are already figured out for them and that there’s nothing they can do about it.
Well, that’s a grave misunderstanding.
Even though you may be presently limited by your circumstance, it’s not set in stone. You are in charge of your own life and you can determine your

Setting Low Expectations for Yourself is a Dangerous Thing

I’ve always like the adage “make today’s ceiling tomorrow’s floor.” It means that you should reach high today so you can reach higher tomorrow. This applies especially to your expectations for yourself.
If you set the bar for yourself low, that’s what you’ll aim for. Even if you achieve it, you probably would achieve more if you had higher expectations.
Don’t get me
