Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
The 5-Second Rule
THE MORNING I ALMOST QUIT EVERYTHING 😰 Three years ago I was standing in the parking lot of the company where I had worked for seven years staring at the front door and physically unable to make myself walk through it because the anxiety that had been building for months had finally reached a level where my body simply refused to cooperate with my mind's instructions to move forward, and I stood there for twenty-two minutes according to my phone's step counter which recorded no movement during that period feeling simultaneously paralyzed and panicked because I knew that not walking through that door meant losing my job and losing my job meant losing my apartment and losing my apartment meant moving back in with my parents at thirty-four years old which felt like a confirmation of every fear I had about being fundamentally incapable of functioning as an adult in a world that seemed to operate by rules everyone else understood but that I had never been given 😔

“Why Self-Discipline is the Key to a Successful Life”
Every day begins with a quiet decision — a choice between comfort and purpose, between delay and discipline. Most mornings, that choice is made before the world even wakes up. On this particular day, I chose purpose.

It's Difficult Without a System | The Iron Standard Day #2
After completing the first day of the challenge (Read Day 1 for the rules here), I found that I only managed to complete 14 out of the 18 tasks. The challenge was always going to be ambitious, and with this many to do I found myself rushing to complete as many as I could before the day's end. I need to have a system.

The Girl Who Fell 10,000 Feet and Walked Out of the Jungle Alone: Juliane Koepcke's Impossible Story of Resilience
The statistical probability of surviving a free fall from 3,000 meters (roughly 10,000 feet) without a parachute is essentially zero. It is a mathematical dead end. Add to that scenario the chaotic variable of a mid-air aircraft disintegration, and the final percentage becomes something that defies reality itself.

Life Full Reset | The Iron Standard Day #1
I enjoy a good challenge. In the past I've decided, randomly, to undertake various challenges just for the sheer fun of it. From drinking just water for 1 month to the 75 Days Hard challenge, I'd do anything to push myself. Now, after what I can only describe as the toughest period of my life so far, It's time to attempt yet another challenge, except this time, I'm going to do things a little differently.

Restraining My Competence: A Radical Take on Domestic Peace
I knew my competence would yield no reward, so I delayed it. I knew being capable yielded no power, so I restrained it. Power can be achieved by watching; it is a simple, heavy thing, that ends up mattering more.
