Something I repeatedly see being asked in the personal development niche is, “How can I improve ‘X’ aspect of my life most quickly”?

Yesterday sucked. It was one of those days where each time I had a chance to pick between the right choice and the wrong choice I ended up picking the wrong one. I ended up literally sick to my stomach by the end of the day, had a broken night of sleep, and felt the … [Read more…]
