The HARDEST Decision of My Life... For Now
I’ve been playing football my entire life. I love everything about football, the bonds you make, the skills learned, and just hitting people hard to be completely honest. I knew from a very young age I wanted to play at the highest level I possible and based off my stats in high school I could potentially make it further than most.

'Unfu*k Yourself'
We all want that dream house, perfect relationship and amazing career, however it doesn’t happen overnight and to some, maybe never. I want all those things too. We have a nice place, a farm to be exact. Is it my dream house? Not even close. I share a great relationship with my spouse, is it perfect? Hell no! We have our ups and downs like most everyone else. As for a career… I always wanted to be an author, publish something, be a New York Times Best Seller. Did it happen? Not a chance. Why am I telling you all this you ask? It’s because I am sure some of you are feeling what I have been feeling for a while. Stuck in life, worthless, useless and just existing, comfortable. Satisfied and sometimes unsatisfied with the way life turned out. Like my only soul purpose is to be a mom and a housewife. Of course I love having a purpose of teaching these tiny humans and keeping them safe amongst being depended on by a herd of farm animals, but I need more. I crave more. A bigger purpose.

Journey of a Ronin
My feet are tired, my back aches, and my legs shake from exhaustion, but I must continue forward. I must not stop. A warrior never admits defeat, for defeat is disgrace. Defeat, to a warrior, is the ultimate stain on the honor. If I stop, I must accept defeat. If I stop, I will defeat myself. This is the way of the warrior.

Chasm
It's difficult, stepping out of the comfort zone of your notebook and pen and trying out the website you keep seeing ads for on Instagram. I've been fine with keeping my thoughts private with no one even knowing I write anything, so why did I decide to do this? Maybe I'm looking for approval. Maybe it's for the recognition. Maybe I'm looking for someone to criticize me. Whatever it is, it seems to be subconscious. Taking my feelings and letting them flow right through me onto the page was a release for me. Typing them onto a website should be stress inducing, right? It seems to be giving me more of a release than ever. There's a fine line between the privacy of my notebook and releasing these pages into the internet. After all, what really are the odds that someone I know runs into these? What are the odds that they'll even tell me about it if they do? Not very likely. The only people reading these words are complete strangers, right? So is there really a difference between writing all of this in a notebook versus typing it up on here? I guess experience will tell. After all, having only one story published, I don’t know much at all, do I?

Starting over at 28
Starting over at 28 There comes a point in everyone's life when you tend to see the things in your life you should have completed. For some it's college and others it's a career or family, but for me it was all of those things. I had stopped and looked at my life and realized that I was at the end of the road I had started down and needed to change direction.

Sometimes You Have to Step Outside Your Comfort Zone
Almost six months ago. That is when I left my full time nursing position in a doctor’s office. I left because it had turned into a hostile work environment. It was making my life miserable and had me second guessing myself as a nurse. A lot has happened since then. I have been struggling financially. Most of the time I do not know if I will be able to eat three meals a day (I have pretty much been eating only one meal about halfway through the day and I have been trying to drink as much water as possible to curb the hunger feeling). Now, don't get me wrong, I have still been working two part time jobs; they just have not been generating enough income to get all of my bills paid every month. I no longer have cable TV. I had to extend my auto loan by two months and I am currently trying to figure out how I am going to make this month's payment. It took me the entire month of September to pay my rent (and I have not paid it yet this month). I have had to wait until they threaten to cancel my car insurance before I pay it (I have had to do the same with my cell phone as well).

Adulthood: My Story
Exactly a week after my high school graduation I was rolling back and forth on the couch while cartoons played on the television at three in the morning. My whole body was shaking and my heart was racing like I had been slurping on half a pot of coffee half an hour before. While whispering to myself "You screwed up. You screwed up. You screwed up." over and over under the catchy theme song, I was hyperventilating to the point that I wished I could pass out just so the thumping in my chest would stop. What exactly was causing me to cry hysterically and wish for the sweet relief of sudden death, you may ask? The fact that legally I counted as an adult while having no idea what I was doing with my life.

What It Takes to Become a Real Expert
"Expert" It's a title that is so overused today that it's honestly lost its shine. I remember attending a webinar from ClickBank several years ago about affiliate marketing. One thing they pushed was for people to call themselves experts.

How To Win Every Day
What do you consider winning your day to consist of? You do not need to do as much as people think you need to do to win every day. I am going to give you an easy tool that will help you win every day, and help you string as many winning days together as you can. If you begin to win consistently every single day it will become a habit, and when winning becomes a habit for you, success arrives to you effortlessly. The tool that will allow you to do just this is called a power list. I recommend getting a journal for your power list, it is important that you write it down on paper. Every day is a new page, and every day you place the date and five tasks that you must complete that day, or tasks that you think will help you if you did them. Only five tasks, that is not a lot of effort when you think about it. As you go through your day begin to check your tasks off as they are done. Once, and only once you have finished and checked off all five tasks have you won the day.

Hello, World
Things always happens for a reason. They is no greatness without hard work. There is no winning without effort. There is no change without sacrifice. And as long as life passes by most people discover that. Some younger, others older, some even go through life without really understanding what this idea of pushing yourself to a goal means.
