Thinking You Can’t Do Something And Making Excuses
A year from now you may wish you had started today. ~ Karen Lamb Excuses are what holds a person back. I know this because I hear excuses nearly every single day, and I have made many of my own as well. I’ve made excuses for why I couldn’t leave my day job, why I can’t stop eating junk food, why I’m too busy to do something, why I don’t have the experience to do certain things, how it’s unfair that some people have certain privileges, and so on. See, after my father passed aw

9 Ways to Live an Extraordinary Life
“Your life sounds like so much fun. You’re so lucky that you get to live an extraordinary life.” However, it’s not just luck. Just a few years ago, I never thought that I would be living this life. I never thought I’d be my own boss or that I’d be traveling full-time. It’s funny how much can change in just a few short years! For me, this is extraordinary, but everyone has a different version of what living an extraordinary life means. And, no matter what your definition is, i

5 Great Benefits Of Being An Early Bird And How You Can Change
Some of the early birds I know may laugh at this because I know many who wake up at 4 a.m., and I’m definitely not one of those people. You don’t have to wake up at 4 a.m. to be an early bird, unless you really want to. I’m just talking about waking up a little earlier in the morning, instead of waking up in a rush for work or regularly sleeping in until the afternoon. Now, some of you might think I’m crazy for telling you to wake up an hour or two before you’re supposed to l

Before you start thinking about what to name your next dog or what breed you’d like, you should first think about everything that goes into owning a dog or other pet.

But, according to the ASPCA, about 7.6 million animals enter animal shelters each year, and one-third of them are brought in by their owners. Yes, that means

Stop Comparing Yourself To Others And Live Your Own Life
Over the years, I’ve compared myself to others plenty of times. I’ve compared myself to others when it came to school, looks, money, and more. I know that sounds bad, but without acknowledging that, it would be hard to stop. Many people compare themselves to others too. In fact, everyone has done it at one point in their life.

Blogging Changed My Life – Could It Change Yours?
In August of 2011, I found out about blogging and decided to learn how to create a blog of my own, so I created Making Sense of Cents.
