I remembered her sad face as she begged me to stay and snuggle for five more minutes. And I had said no. I said I would set an alarm for 2 minutes, and then I was leaving.

Self-Development
The journey of self-development is just that: a journey.
Learning to become a better person and improving who you are is not a destination; it’s something we should work on throughout our lives. Self-development isn’t just a buzz word; it’s what you do when you want to become the best version of yourself.
Whether it’s examining how you act within your relationships, how you talk to yourself, or how you play the cards that life deals you, all of us can use a little guidance and push to become the best versions of ourselves.
Self-development is the act of consciously taking steps to improve who yourself, on all levels of your being. Whether it’s by an examination of consciousness (and then acting on that examination), by being open to new perspectives, or by setting out on a new adventure to find new meanings, we all should take the time for personal growth.
This is the section of the blog where I write about becoming the best people we can become, through self-development, personal growth, and more. I may also occasionally add some posts about self-care and self-love, because in order to become who we want to be, we need to first love ourselves as we are, and take good care of our bodies and minds.
If you’re interested in becoming the best version of yourself, be sure to explore the posts in this section. You can also sign up for the mailing list below for more tips on self-development.

New Year’s Resolutions? Here’s how to actually make them happen.
I’ve never been one to make New Year’s Resolutions, for a number of reasons:
- A New Year’s Resolution is generally an ineffective way to reach a goal, as most people make their resolutions too generic.
- Most people aren’t quite ready to make a change when they make a resolution.
- I don’t see a need to wait until a new year to make changes for the better – you should be evaluating your life at the bare minimum every six months, but preferably on a monthly basis, and making changes as needed. This is especially true if you own a business.
But this year is different. I’ve realized that just because new year’s resolutions are usually ineffective, mine don’t have to be that way.

Transform your dream into a goal… and achieve it.
We all have dreams. Whether they are dreams we’ve had since we were children, or dreams we’ve developed as we’ve grown older, we all have those things we wish we could do. We all spend at least part of our lives daydreaming about what could be. That’s no way to live… always wondering what could be. If there is something you really want to do, if there is a dream you’ve had for a long time, it’s time to stop dreaming and start planning.
