Oh, No! I Burned Out!
Oh no! What happened? I was doing so well! I’m never going to make ends meet as a freelance author at this point! To explain, the first five days or so of February, while I was fully invested in creating new and amazing content every day, commenting on people’s stories, earning top stories and bonuses—What went wrong? How could I let that slip away? However will I get to twenty million views at this rate? Must the pressures of being a Master’s student always get in the way of the quarter of a dollar per day I am trying to make? It’s sad, honestly. So sad.

Human Nature
Whenever anything goes wrong in our life, we naturally seek an explanation. To not find some cause for why our plans went awry, or why we faced sudden resistance to our ideas, would be deeply disturbing to us and intensify our pain. But in looking for a cause, our minds tend to revolve around the same types of explanations: someone or some group sabotaged me, perhaps out of dislike; large antagonistic forces out there, such as the government or social conventions, hindered me; I received bad advice, or information was kept from me. Finally if worse comes to worst, it was all bad luck and unfortunate circumstances.

Tomorrow is not promised to any of us. There is no guarantee that things will be as they are today when tomorrow comes.

The Myths Behind Weight Loss
Lorraine Kearney: One of the most common misconceptions I hear from my clients is that they need to skip meals and starve themselves in order to lose weight. However, this is not true.
