For 2026 — Listen To Your Calling
In a conversation with Dr. Gabriella Korosi, I was inspired by our upcoming book about Dreams and Callings. At this time of the year, everyone starts paying more attention to their lives and purpose, wondering whether they are living the way they should. Some want to know or live what their true calling is. Often, life calls, but many people don’t listen. Some hear, but don’t like what they see facing them. Others are afraid because of how family and friends will perceive them. Some respond, and some are just terrified of the possibilities.

Learn to Say 'No' Without Apologizing
It is not uncommon for some people to find it hard to say “no” to family members, friends, co-workers, and especially to leaders and members of their church. They are in the habit of saying “yes” even when they want to say “no” to some requests and favors they are asked to do.

This One Habit Quietly Ruined My Confidence
I didn't notice I was doing it until my girlfriend pointed it out. We were at dinner with her friends, and I'd just finished telling a story about something funny that happened at work. Everyone laughed, the conversation moved on, and I thought nothing of it. Later that night, in the car ride home, she turned to me and said, "Why do you always do that?"

Why Discipline Is More Important Than Talent . AI-Generated.
I was 23 when I realized I'd been chasing the wrong thing. Five years. That's how long I spent building a life that looked perfect on paper but felt completely hollow inside. I had the career everyone told me to want, the salary my parents bragged about at family dinners, the apartment in the right neighborhood. I should've been happy. Instead, I was waking up with a knot in my chest every single morning.

I Didn't Realize I Was Burnt Out Until My Body Forced Me to Stop. AI-Generated.
The first sign was my hands shaking while I poured coffee. I didn't think much of it. I'd been tired for months—maybe years, honestly—but tired was normal. Everyone I knew was tired. We wore it like a badge of honor, competing over who slept less, who worked later, who was more dedicated. I thought the trembling was just caffeine on an empty stomach.

Nobody Warned Me That Self-Improvement Would Feel This Lonely. AI-Generated.
I was 23, sitting in my car after another night of drinking too much with friends who complained about the same problems they'd had for three years. Same dead-end jobs. Same toxic relationships. Same cycle of getting wasted every Friday to forget about it, then spending Sunday dreading Monday. I'd been right there with them, but something shifted that night. I drove home sober for once, looked at myself in the bathroom mirror, and didn't recognize the tired person staring back.
