We have two choices - to remain where we are or to step forward into being a better you. Obviously staying where and how we are is the easier and more comfortable choice, at least at this moment.

Decide today to instead challenge yourself to be better, not to stay stuck in the rut o...

When we decide to bring about change in our life, there's one thing that helps us continue to persevere. It seems so simple and yet is powerful beyond what we expect. It's in knowing our why.

Growing up I wanted so badly for my father to say I believe in you, you can do it or you've got this. Anything positive would have been fantastic. I kept waiting even into my 20s and 30s. I finally realized he wasn't in a place to be able to offer those words or that encouragement. It was something I needed to release for myself - to start taking action and begin living my life. My friend, many of...
