Seriously though. You probably have dreams, things you’d like to do in life, places you’d like to visit, people you’d like to meet. What are you doing to work towards making those things a reality?

Are you really working towards your dreams? What are you doing each day to get yourself one step closer to them? Be honest with yourself -- is what...

What's that thing you've always wanted to do but haven't, that thing you want to share with everyone but are too afraid, that thing you're always putting off for no good reason?

 The end of summer is a natural break in the year for many of us. We're moving out, going off to college, starting a new job, and probably anxious about what is yet to...

Life has a masterful way of putting things into perspective for us. No matter how bad things can get, or how good things are right now -- there’s an overriding factor that either carries us through, or drops us into free fall. That factor is different for all of us. For some of us, it’s external, an event going on in our lives or something that...

Unfortunately, it’s not. There’s no class to teach us about life. We only have our own mistakes, experiences, and successes to learn from.

For a long time I’ve been thinking about writing a post that tries to sum up what life has taught me, led me to believe, and challenged me with. However, I don’t think there’s any way to capture all those...

Back to school is the often the craziest and most hectic time of the year. This is true for both students and parents. There are many reasons for this.

“I want you to play this sport, I want you to take that class, you need to get an A on those tests”. STOP. You’ve heard it from almost everyone...parents, coaches, peers -- people always telling you what you should or shouldn’t be doing. What they ‘think’ is in your ‘best interest’. But you know what, whose life are you living? Because if...

Bullying that takes place over the internet, how can that be? Can’t you just close out of the window or sign off? These are the attitudes so commonly taken by parents and educators today. Even some teens themselves fail to understand the implications of Cyber Bullying. Cyber Bullying reaches deeper than just online verbal harassment. The nature...

I need to premise this entire post with something, I already wrote it about an hour ago and then accidentally deleted it. So maybe the whole ‘better the second time around’ thing will be true? I sure hope so!

It seems like recently, more so than ever before, everyone seems to be having these conversations about life and their future. Where...

Perhaps one of the biggest influences and limiting factors on teenage dating presents itself as the parents who set the rules for their children before they ever even have their first boyfriend or girlfriend. According to a study conducted by the American Psychological Association, found here, the teen years are what shape an individuals...

Chances are that right now there is something about your life that you’re not satisfied with. And if you’re content with your life, then you should probably ask yourself why that is, because there’s always a level of greatness above contentment, you just have to know how to find it. Perhaps you’re going through life from day to day, living out...

All too often people find themselves in situations where miscommunication, upon miscommunication, has compounded into becoming an impossibly difficult barrier to overcome.
