Nike’s slogan has never worked for me. After excessively failing at my self-appointed objectives, I eventually realized that my failure was not in not accomplishing my goal nor in unsuccessfully creating a habit but in not setting myself up for success.

I Wanted a Big Positive Change in my Life and Here’s What Happened
On March 9, 2016, I began a journey to get healthier by going to the gym. I have been every day, rain or shine, since.

How to Define What You Want in 4 Easy Steps
A few days ago, my daughters’ school held a special day where the kids were to come in dressed as what they want to be when they grow up. I loved the idea and was excited to hear what my girls were interested in. I was elated to see that they are indeed their mother’s daughters. They came barrelling at me with idea after idea.
