Let’s save some time: people don’t radically change because you criticize them. People change when they see your example.

Sick of being on your device? Well, read just one more post—this one—on how to take a digital sabbatical. With a little preparation, you can remember what it was like before you were constantly scrolling or checking email (and for entrepreneurs, just know that your business will NOT fall apart).

When life throws me a curveball, I’m not inclined to immediately try to make the best of the situation any more than anyone else. First, it impacts me.

Face the things that seem “impossible” and use them as your training ground for life’s challenges. That’s going to feel better than simply repeating, “I hate this” every time you walk through the doors.
