A couple of weeks ago, when I logged into Facebook, I encountered a guy called “Nick.” Nick had commented on a post that I had been promoting, titled Are Christian Guys Not Taking Dating Seriously?

Struggling With Motivation? Do It For The One

When I was in high school, I had an incredible history teacher. She would begin every lesson with a short story; a story intended to make us think, to challenge our assumptions and to inspire us. My favourite was always the Starfish Story.

What’s Stopping You From Following Your Dreams?

On the last day of your life, what will your greatest regret be? Will you wish you hadn't worked so hard? That you had stayed in better touch with your friends and family? That you’d had the courage to express your feelings?

6 Steps to Say “I’m Sorry”
