My Spirit Animal Is a Scapegoat

Let’s face it: We’ve all wanted to blame others for our problems. The temptation is normal, but what matters is how you respond to it. Do you blame your struggles on external factors, from the economy to the weather, or do you assume you have control over your situation?

Progress Under Pressure

The path of least resistance is always there to offer you a way out of any difficulty. And there’s something to be said for being kind and patient with yourself. Ultimately, though, the best Plan B is no Plan B. When you give yourself no choice but to do the hard thing, you’ll be amazed with what you achieve.

You Have to Climb the Mountain to Appreciate the View

We all love the idea of snapping our fingers and achieving our goals, but we can’t truly appreciate the achievement without the struggle of the journey. The lessons we learn are what define us in the future. Chief among them: Anything worth doing is worth doing right.
