Leave a Comment“Do what is hard now, and life will be easy. Do what is easy now, and life will be hard.” I’ve been hitting the weights hard lately, and it feels great. There’s always something I’ve loved about lifting and working out. Objectively, it’s an odd thing to enjoy. Loading up a couple hundred pounds, putting it on your back and…

Leave a CommentThere’s an interview with Will Smith that I really like where he talks about priorities, and how they can make life easier. He says, “If you get your priorities straight, it’s really simple. [For example] either your family is first or your job is first. Just decide ahead of time. If you decide that your family is first, and you’re…

2 CommentsI was recently chatting with a friend of mine about how much I’ve been reading books over the past five years.

I read 22 books (of course this included the Hunger Games series so I’m not sure that counts?). In 2013, I narrowed my focus to money, health, and relationship-type books and crushed 29 books in…

1 CommentRule #1: The “No Complaining” Rule The No Complaining Rule is self-explanatory: You’re not aloud to complain about your situation. No complaining. Period. You’re not allowed to complain to your mom, to your girlfriend, not even to your cat. This puts us in an interesting spot, doesn’t it? We no longer have that outlet to express what’s wrong with…

Leave a CommentIn January of 2015, I was living in Charlotte, North Carolina finishing up my college degree. I quit personal training when I left my sister’s place (an hour north in Winston-Salem), so I had no more 5am wake up calls. I could sleep in everyday.
