I rush through life. Where I’m going I had never been certain, but I was always certain it was a better place. I was certain through persistence and will I would inevitably conquer any obstacle before me to obtain the greener pasture....

Jocko Willink posts a photo on his Instagram every day of his wrist watch: 4:30 a.m. The former SEAL Team 6 commander always rises by 4:30 a.m., often earlier but never later. I browse Instagram daily looking at numerous inspirational people’s accounts,...

I get obsessed over ideas. The obsession often lasts briefly before I move onto the next idea that piques my interest. But, on rare occasions, I come across something that I add to my little toolbox that I carry with me through...

I find it difficult to consider myself a runner. I used my legs in my youth to walk to school, play ‘real’ sports like basketball and football, and race other kids on the playground or at home. For much of my life,...
