It’s quite common to be told to find a job you love, or follow your passion and the money will follow. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always seem to work out so conveniently for everyone.
So what is one to do when they can’t earn a living from their passion, or at least they haven’t figured out a [...]
Now, I’m no credit expert, and if you’re looking for the really good (and more accurate) advice, you should talk to someone who is. However, I’ve been noticing something rather alarming lately: there are a lot of adults out there who seem to have no idea how not paying bills on time, in full, effects [...]
There’s something I’ve noticed about communities built around the paranormal. They seem to attract the die-hard skeptics who aren’t going to believe anything they read short of seeing an amazing, flashy display in person that demonstrates the paranormal is real. They also attract people ready to believe absolutely anything they read, because “anything’s possible” and [...]

So there’s something you’d like to start doing more often, but you just can’t seem to find the motivation. Perhaps it just seems too daunting, or you don’t have the time for it. If you have a good deal of discipline, and want to make it a daily habit, you could try a 30 Day [...]

Many people just find themselves talking about it and not doing anything to fix it. I know I’ve caught myself falling into this trap fairly [...]
Religiously speaking, I used to identify myself as a Christian. This was mostly a label, as I don’t really believe the only way to salvation is through Jesus. I tended to identify as Christian more because I believe in a concept of God similar to that of the loving God many Christians follow. Jesus, I [...]
I was musing to myself at work a few days ago. I realized that much of the time I’m working, the job I do requires absolutely no thinking. When it gets busy, I need to think how to prioritize tasks, but that’s it. Aside from that bit of thinking, the work I do most days [...]
Lots of self-help people like to say that money isn’t everything, or money isn’t important. I can certainly see the point they’re making, and I’ll certainly agree that money isn’t everything. However, I will argue that money is important, and while it won’t guarantee anything, it will help a lot when it comes to happiness [...]
Growing up, I was the smart kid. When I say that, I don’t mean to say I was smarter than everyone else. Rather, I was the one who had the reputation for being smart. I was the recluse, had few friends (though they were very good friends), and got good grades. In short, I fit [...]
It’s time for believers to speak up. So I’m stepping forward now. I believe in God. I also think it’s everyone else’s right to choose what they believe. Whether they believe in a single god, many gods, or no gods at all. Or if they don’t know what to believe and decide it’s best not [...]
