Vol. 2 Tip #15; Learn to be Content and Enjoy Life

Life is not perfect. And it never will be, but the key to enjoying the life you have, as imperfect as it may be, is to learn to be content and fully live in the present moment. Of course, this is much harder to do than it sounds and takes most of us years to […]

Vol. 2 Tip #14 Humility; More than just an old-fashioned concept

It’s really important to believe in something. Faith has a direct impact on what we do and why we do it. Trick is you can’t believe in just anything and you shouldn’t accept the beliefs of others blindly. KNOW why you believe what you believe. Understand the foundation of your faith by finding out what […]

Vol. 2 Tip #5 Integrity Matters!

I read somewhere a while back that success will come and go, but integrity is forever. That is so true! Integrity is basically doing the right thing at all times and in all situations even when no one is watching. It takes a long time to build up a reputation of being a person of […]
