I’ve been on a writing break for about 6 weeks now. I dunno, I just couldn’t find my mojo, I didn’t have anything to…

You will be rejected. Sometimes the thing you want, you won’t get. Sometimes you’ll get a flat out “no”. Being the best person for the job isn’t always enough. Some things require you to fight for them. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. Feel angry, be hurt, and cry. And then, fight. Fight…

[vc_row inner_container=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output]Two years ago on the original Launch blog I put up a post called, Power and Control. That post was based on the quote pictured above which I heard in a car commercial. I decided to revisit that quote and post today because I think it’s worth repeating. A few years ago I…

[vc_row inner_container=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column][text_output]Everything terrible that’s happened or is happening to you is not because the world is out to get you or because everyone hates you. Truth be told, most times, the crap we go through and that we put up with is stuff we chose. We allowed it into our lives, or…

[vc_row inner_container=”true” padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px” border=”none”][vc_column width=”1/1″][text_output] Easy Schmeasy. Easy lives are for wimps. The straight and narrow path, the always have the answers, never a grey sky or hard day… who needs that? Not you. You need the sucky days, the situations that you can’t believe you’ve found yourself in, the moments when there’s absolutely…

There’s a legal age for when you can drink, drive, vote, and run for president. But that’s where the restrictions pretty much end. Work. Service. Entrepreneurship. Those things don’t have a start or ending age. There are 6 year olds who run businesses, and there are 60 year olds living abroad, volunteering their time in the…

Recognizing that even if there are things you want to change about your character or physical self, that the person you are, the role you play in the world, and the body that houses you is valuable and worthy. Self-love is the…

Five years from now… Who will you be? What will you be doing? What will you have accomplished? Scroll through pictures or posts and see who you were, what you were doing, or who was most important in your life years ago. Does it feel like that time went by fast? Right now, five years…

Forgiving someone makes us feel like a doormat, like we’re allowing someone to walk all over us or to get away with something. How come when we’re the person who has been wronged we also have to be the person who forgives? It sucks. Especially when the person you’re forgiving isn’t even sorry. Ever been…

Discomfort brings growth. It’d be great if we could go through life being ‘good people’ and because we were kind to others, obeyed our parents, did well in school, and showed up on time for work, that we would have no problems. However, it’s yet to happen, and it never will, because it isn’t the way…

When you deposit more money into your bank account than you withdraw, you always have money available. When you spend more time investing in relationships and people than in things, you will always have a friend. It’s the time of year when people make lists and check them twice, to purchase gifts for people they love.…
