When it comes to future plans we often forget the reason behind the paths we choose. We know what we want, when we want it and what it will take but we forget the reason why we want it. A common example is career paths. A person may want to become a nurse in the … Continue reading Knowing why
Hold yourself to it
When you tell yourself that you will do something, it's quite easy to just not commit. Afterall, there is nobody else that knows and nobody to hold you to it. On the other hand if you share your aims or goals with others, you have to be willing to accept being called out of if … Continue reading Hold yourself to it
Running out of ideas
