How do I even find my limits? I answer these questions and more in today's episod...

Today I want to talk a bit about the namesake of the Nobel Prize. He had a life-altering event that changed not only his perception but the perceptions that others had of him.

We are the sum of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. That being said, if you want change in your life, you have to take responsibility for what you've created so far in your life. The great thing about taking responsibility is that it gives you the power to not only accept culpability for everything negative in your life but also gives you the opportunity to take credit for all the good. So...

Find the answer to those questions in today's episode.

Remember when the world around you is crumbling, it...

I had someone ask me this a while ago. "What would you change about yourself?" After thinking for a few minutes, I decided that there was nothing I would change about myself. That's not to say that I'm conceited or anything. It's just that I have a positive attitude about myself and so should you. Self-acceptance is the topic of this episode and I want us to think about how w...
