There is a Facebook post floating around these days about all these famous people who accomplished great things later in life, many of them after previous notable failures. I saw this post before it hit all my friend’s timelines and wrote a post, then deleted it because I didn’t want to come across as negative… Continue reading Trust the Process

I think #TwentySomethings are conditioned to find a reason for everything that happens to them. That includes the bad things and that is what we commonly know as blame. When bad things happen to us and we don’t want to own up to it, we tend to lend the fault on to something or someone… Continue reading Blame Game

I can’t even sit here and act like I have never failed. Quite the opposite actually. I fail often, even though I hate using that word. But here’s the deal: when you fail (aka don’t immediately succeed at something, you have 2 choices. You can either (a) sulk in your misery, or (b) you pick… Continue reading Brush Yourself Off

You know that feeling when things start piling up and you think you can just handle it all #likeaboss, but then you realize how overwhelming it is and you decide to just forget everything instead?
