Why People Don’t Follow Through

We don’t follow through because it’s hard work. Following through on our intentions is a challenging task that requires discipline, motivation, and perseverance.

I just lost it all …

I spent about 30 minutes on a LONG post talking about how I REALLY wanted to get together with you. Yes, you specifically! Then I ended up tagging a BUNCH of people who I “specifically” wanted to get together with and Facebook decided that I’d talked too long and dumped […]


Recognize this scene from “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer?”

“Here was a gorgeous triumph; they were missed; they were mourned; hearts were breaking on their account; tears were being shed; accusing memories of unkindnesses to these poor lost lads were rising up, and unavailing regrets and remorse were being indulged: and best of all, the departed were the talk […]
