Sometimes in life, we’re faced with difficult decisions where we have to choose between what’s best for ourselves and what’s best for others. When it comes to making these kinds of decisions, I have a really hard time choosing myself over others. In some cases, that’s not a bad thing. In others, though, we need to be able to prioritize …

I realized that the reason I’m having such a hard time coming up with a topic is that I’ve had a good week. I’ve been productive, I’ve accomplished goals, and I’m moving forward in life. Then it hit me. …
