The Incredible Impact of Iris
Sometimes stories can only be told at the end. And the end is where Iris’s story begins. You don’t always know before the after, which small moments had great impact, and which grand gestures were moot. While Iris’s life had her fair share of inconsequential grand gestures, this is a story of how she fueled extraordinary things through seemingly ordinary actions, in response to a gift of $20,000.

New Phone Who Dis
The day I realized I wasn’t going to be a professional athlete, I found myself wondering what the next thing was going to be. I was 26 at the time and I’d put everything I'd had into sports. If you haven’t made it by 26, you need to start looking into doing something else and I was finally able to admit that to myself.

Dear Leos: 5 Things You Are
Most people think that Leos are like open books until they start to read between the lines. Every Leo is understood and misunderstood in equal parts. To some, we come across as invincible because we (rightly or wrongly) believe that people need us to be strong. But in every Leo, there lives a child that wants to be loved and free.

Don't Give A Damn!
Have you ever seriously considered the reasons behind why you aren't achieving the success you desire in life, or the happiness, satisfaction, and prosperity, you yearn for, for that matter? You might be happy to admit to fault, and take ownership as to why you haven't achieved these. Perhaps you admit to being lazy, and you just haven't got off your butt to commit to achieving your goals? Perhaps you blame other people or circumstances? Perhaps you believe you just aren't lucky and blessed in life? Perhaps you believe you're just not destined for such rewards, and that life just totally sucks? Whatever the reason, or reasons, you'd have to be foolish to accept there is just one secret ingredient, one component, behavior, characteristic, action, or habit, to achieving success, happiness, satisfaction, and prosperity. All these blessings require us to inhabit the characteristics of determination, resilience, patience, perseverance, drive, motivation, and commitment, within us. We know that we have to work extremely and consistently hard. We know that we have to believe in ourselves, and be positive minded. All these things and more, are all necessary if we want to achieve the above results. On the flip side, there are the success killers, of course. The three biggest reasons behind why so many people live their life in failure, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction, is because of fear, doubt, laziness, or all three combined. There is one massive weakness that humankind in general have though, when it comes to the reasons why so many of us live such an unfulfilled and unhappy life, and that is our excessive desire to impress others, please others, and have others like us.
