What would you do if you had all the time in the world to do it? If you were totally in control of your day from sun up to sun down what plans would you make? What would you accomplish?

Wholly Myself
Growth is so uncomfortable. But who wants to stay the same, right? It seems the older I get the more lessons I learn. And these past few months have been a series of uncomfortable lessons.

There’s this interesting guy I found on YouTube a few months ago. Buddist monk. Nick something or other. His perspectives on life are… Continue reading Better Than Yesterday
