Can You Handle The Truth?

We love to argue our points. We love referencing sources that support our position. And we love being correct. But what about when we aren’t? Our behavior stems from our deep-rooted beliefs. These beliefs shape what we think, how we act, and who we are. But when two people have opposing beliefs, one of them…

Old Age

If there is one thing that most people fear, it is getting older. It is scary to think that your youth will eventually drift away, your skin will wrinkle, your range of motion will decrease, you will lose muscle mass and get weaker, and your body and abilities will break down. Is there a way…

Ask Not What Your Body Can Do For You

Like most others, I catch myself being surprised by the amount of sickness and disease we are surrounded by these days. People say things like, “I can’t believe I have another sinus infection,” “I wish I didn’t get these headaches,” and “My metabolism is slowing down, and I am gaining weight.” We are continuously surprised…

But in reality, we’d be naïve to think that censorship has not been happening for decades, if not centuries. I couldn’t tell you the history of censorship, but now…

Stop Drifting…Start Paddling

Remember daydreaming when you were young about the life ahead of you. Remember the dreams you used to have? Remember when you were excited about the work you were doing? Remember when you were thinner, fitter, and in better shape? Remember when you were passionate about your relationships. Remember feeling good, having more energy, and…

And vs. But

When you see those ads on television for medications, they do a great job of painting a pretty picture. They involve bright colors, happy people, and convey the idea that if you take that drug, your problems will be solved. But with each ad comes the lowering of the narrator’s voice as he or she…
