Consumer to Producer You’ve been lied to. You’ve been led to believe that the way you’re living life is the way you’re supposed to live. Led to believe that the important things in your life should be getting the latest phone, binge watching TV shows and hating your job. Led to believe that disfunction in […]
There are times in life that you hit an emotional threshold. Times when you feel strongly that something must change. These, unlike most others, are the greatest times of growth. This is where the present feeling now causes you more pain, than the idea of changing does. Anytime you need to change something, this is […]
You’re going to encounter tough times. You won’t always feel like you’ll be successful. That’s when you call on the help of the people you call your friends. They’re supposed to be there when you need them most. Right? They may be there, but they won’t always be what you want or need. They may […]
