If the grass looks greener on the other side…Stop staring. Stop comparing. Stop complaining. And START watering the grass you’re standing on.

Truly, the most powerful weapon against daily stress is our ability to choose one thought, or response, over another.

Sometimes we try to show the world we are flawless in hopes that we will be liked and accepted by everyone, but we can’t please everyone and we shouldn’t try.  The beauty of us lies in our vulnerability, our complex emotions, and our authentic imperfections.  When we embrace who we are and decide to be authentic, instead of who we think others want us to be, we open ourselves up to real relationships, real happiness, and real success.

Stories...they're not just for children. We believe they have the power to change, the ability to shift your outlook. So, let us distract you for a moment and tell you seven short stories.

These are old stories – familiar stories.  The people and the circumstances differ slightly for everyone who tells them, but the core lessons remain the same.

We hope the twist we’ve put on them here inspires you to think differently…

We've said it before and we'll say it again: you absolutely need to do hard things to be happy in the long run.  Because the hard things ultimately build you up and change your life.  They make the difference between existing and living, between knowing the path and walking it, between a lifetime of empty promises and one filled with more possibility and progress.
