Dads often go through fatherhood under appreciated. Traditionally, dads are the working parents who provide for the family and come home exhausted to kids who crave their undivided attention. But in an age where the duties between fathers and mothers are very blurred, dads still seem to get the shaft. I honestly feel really bad for dads these …
Mother’s Day is not just a bouquet of flowers, a piece of jewelry, or a fancy dinner. It’s a day to celebrate the person who rented out her womb, sacrificed her sanity, put her needs aside so that another human being could live. But such a day does not require fanfare or exuberant praise. All …
It is so easy to lose focus and forget what is truly important to us. And oftentimes it’s not until we break down that we realize how far from our path we’ve strayed. The good thing is the path itself doesn’t stray. That path is always there waiting for our return. So, all we need …
We like to think that we are competing with other people, such that when we beat other people, we have evidence to support our superiority. But superiority is temporary.

I disagree with this philosophy. It is not selfish to put your needs before someone else’s. It is not selfish for you to prioritize your …
March is a month of hope. For many, it is the last month of snowstorms when an occasional bird can be heard serenading the morning sun. I’m one of those jerks who lives in 80-degree weather all year ’round. I said goodbye to snow about a year and a half ago. But 80-degree weather all year …
Life is for those who persevere. And perseverance takes strength. But strength isn’t just about getting beat up by other people and continuing onward. It’s also about working hard so that we stop getting beat up. We like to think that we’re strong because we can receive insults and take on stress. But we’d exhibit more strength …
Let’s face it: the founding fathers of America were badasses. Sure, they were wealthy white guys with questionable ethics and a distaste for illiteracy.
