It seems crazy to me that we're already in February! I feel like January always goes by slow, but this year it seems to have come and gone in a flash. By now you might've even abandoned your New Year's Resolutions. Hey, no judgment. It happens. Or you may think that your goals are too … Continue reading Self-Evaluation
I am proud of my work ethic. I work hard to get stuff done, and I know how to persevere when times get tough. A strong work ethic is going to say a lot more favorable things about you than a weak work ethic. It is important to do well and accomplish the things you … Continue reading Work Ethic
We have heard it so much this year, "These unprecedented times..." I know many people are over 2020. And yeah, truthfully, this year sucked. But the way I see it, we can't move forward without acknowledging the hardships. No real journey to progress is completely smooth. There are bumps, mountains, valleys, and a lot of … Continue reading End of Year Goals
We all have expectations about different things. Sometimes our expectations are met, sometimes they are exceeded, and sometimes we are disappointed. That's life and that's how life works.

So, like any good historian, I set to find the answer for all of you. This story begins back in the late 1800s. To … Continue reading A History of Labor Day
I feel it's been a crazy couple of weeks. Nothing necessarily bad happened, but I'm continually reminded of who I am and where I'm going in life. One of my favorite quotes right now is "Work hard in silence. Let success be your noise." I feel that in my soul. I'm working and running myself … Continue reading On the Grind
I feel like I keep having to mention posts I've already written, but they just keep being relevant! In August 2017, I wrote a post called "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" (read it here). It talks about how I worry about life. News flash: I still worry, even three years later. But you know what, … Continue reading Don’t Sweat It
I talked a few weeks ago about the idea of overcoming perfectionism (read it here). I still absolutely feel that way, and what I want to talk about this week is directly related to this topic. The problem with perfectionism, as I mentioned a few weeks ago, is that if you can't get it immediately, … Continue reading Making a Comeback
