Procrastination is such a bad habit. Because of it, we sacrifice the important tasks we know we should do, and instead engage in trivial activities. Procrastination causes us to unnecessarily delay tasks, and somehow, we convince ourselves that there will be no consequences for it. Of course, this is only an illusion, as procrastinating has ...…
I remember the first time a girl told me this deadly phrase: “I love you as a friend.” I was in high school. I wasn’t sure what she meant, but from the look on her face, I could tell it wasn’t a very good thing. Feeling a little embarrassed, I left silently but quickly. I later learned that it ...…
Every day, we’re required to make many decisions. Some are simple, some complex; some are insignificant, some life-changing; some have a temporary effect, some a permanent one; some have an immediate effect, some take years to have an effect… Your life is being shaped by the decisions you make. If you’re like most people, you ...…

If you’re like most people, you didn’t get to choose your co-workers. Some of them you like; others, you don’t. Yet, you’re expected to work with them as a team to help the organization achieve its goals. But what do you do when one of them (or more) is really getting on your nerves? Having ...…
Being in a dire financial situation is not a nice place to be. It’s hard on you, and if you have a family, it’s hard on your family. For most of my married years, my wife and I have lived on one salary, and for some of that time – 10 months to be exact ...…
In my experience, many singles who feel ready for a serious relationship often cherish ideas that are detrimental to their goal of finding someone with whom they can build a fulfilling and enriching relationship.
