Dale Carnegie’s Thoughts on Freedom and Happiness

Dale Carnegie’s Thoughts on Freedom and Happiness

When we were kids, anything was possible. The wide world lay open and we saw the future as a great adventure. We could do anything. I believe that all life should be an adventure, and that happiness is our natural, default state of being. But clearly we have allowed things to get in the way of our Happiness and freedom. As we have traveled through the landscape of our lives, we have encountered many challenges and, sadly, we have… Continue

11 Refreshing Ways to Bring Out the Awesomeness in Life

11 Refreshing Ways to Bring Out the Awesomeness in Life

I often get caught up in the hectic nature of life. I get bogged down with things to do and the drive to be productive. It’s hard not to get sucked into the routine of living and take life for granted. Sometimes it’s hard to stay excited about life.
