This isn’t a post about why life is the way it is, or a response to why something might be going wrong in life. It is more of a written exploration to “why” I do what I do. I’ve been reading a book written by Simon Sinek titled, “Start With Why.” If you haven’t read…
If you’re anything like me, you wish there was an easy button to get everything done that you want to get done, or perhaps change how you want to change.
