September 2022 Financial Update:
September was uneventful really. We just worked and spent time with friends, that’s about it.

You’re Creating Problems for Yourself and How to Stop.
Recently, I’ve caught myself and others, almost looking for problems. It’s kind of comical. We refuse to be content with whatever we have or where we’re at. We only focus on that which we lack or we change our minds to no longer like what we have. “The main floor is perfect! Now we justContinue reading “You’re Creating Problems for Yourself and How to Stop.”

Do Better, Not Your Best.
It is impossible for someone to be their “best” all of the time. Doing your best is often associated with perfection too. The goal should never be perfection, but to be a slightly better version of yourself than you were the day before. Thats it. Even if all you did was a therapy session toContinue reading “Do Better, Not Your Best.”
