For us to make changes in our lives, we must first become aware of the problem/piece that we want to change. We must then investigate this issue: Why do we want to change? What about it needs to be adjusted? Where did this issue come from? What is the source? Does this source need to…
I always struggle when it comes to right and wrong. Not in determining what each of them are, but getting caught up in always having to make the "right" decision. Just putting pressure on always making the "right" choice. It's funny because I almost always know what is "right" in my mind. Despite this, I…
As I maneuvered through this weekend, I found myself being influenced by many people and many things around me. Not peer pressure, more like suggested options from other sources as to what to think, feel and do. I let other options brood in my mind, not really acting on them. When I think about…
I have many personal relationships that I value highly. Whether that be with my parents, my fraternity brothers, my mentors... They are all important to me.
