December 11, 2019 17:55 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBFeeling stuck, things aren’t improving? Whether it’s your skills, the level of your current success, your relationship, your finances or your health... Often times, we hit a plateau and just can’t seem to improve doing the same things we’ve done before. Then it’s usually time to approach things from a different paradigm. But in order to do that, we have to be willing to get worse first, in order to improve. Without the willingness to do so, we’ll keep stagnating. Leave some feedback!

Escape the sheep herd and join the wolf pack!” - said the wolf to the sheep to build his own little sheep farm.

May 13, 2019 13:42 - 7 minutes - 7.3 MBWar is good for mental health! Don't believe it? Suicide rates DROP during wars and other disastrous times. Why?
