3 Tips to Start Your Day Early

I remember far too well my weekends sleeping in until noon when I was a teenager. Waking up to a late breakfast (because I never skip breakfast) and starting my day around 1PM. Those were the days when responsibility was not a concern and the only thing that needed to get done that day was a 5-hour Play Station session with my friends. Little did I know that this lifestyle was soon to change. Continue reading “3 Tips to Start Your Day Early”

I’ve always found, for the most part, that there are two types of workers: those who are passionate about what they do, and those who are not. I believe there are a lot of people who fell into a track and stayed there because it paid the bills, but they haven’t found what they are passionate about.

5 Things I Learned from Traveling Alone

I started traveling alone from a very early age. Having both my parents living in different cities meant that I had to travel almost every time I wanted to see them. I’ve traveled with family, with groups, and alone. I’ve traveled inside the U.S. and outside. I’ve gone up north to Canada, down south to Argentina, to Israel in the middle east, and there’s still a lot I want to see. No matter how far or with who the travel may be, you can always learn from getting away and experiencing new and different areas of the world.

Why You Should Take A Break

It took me almost two years to schedule my first vacation. I had grown up with a strong work ethic and I felt that the work was too important to step away from it. And then came my first vacation. I couldn’t believe the power rest can have and how just one week can make such a big difference in our life. Today I want to tell you why you should take a break and the importance of doing so.
