Any journey to success is about progress. But our progress relies heavily on the way we react to failure. It’s all about what you learn from your failures that matters. Our failure becomes vital feedback for our future success. When we accept that failure is a necessary part of improvement, you learn to be okay…

Excuses can come in different forms. We can express them verbally, we can think them, or we can adopt behaviours such as addictions.

Many turn to an easy, quick temporary fix. But the best way to solve life’s problems is by thinking ahead and committing to the long-term.…

Being a True Believer takes self-respect. Rather than putting yourself second or third or even last because you “don’t have time”, True Believers know that they have to invest in themselves. With all of life’s demands you can sometimes find yourself at the bottom of the list, which increases stress, not only on you but…
