No matter how much you feel like you’re struggling […]

There’s one phrase in the self-improvement industry that pisses people off more than every other phrase combined. It pisses you off because it’s not true.

In the not too distant future, there will be a vaccine, cure, or reliable treatment for co-vid 19. The election will be over. The economy will have recovered. The question is, what will your life look like at this point? You can look back and be proud of yourself because you adapted to the situation, […]
