I want to make the most out of my life. I’m always searching for ways to improve myself, find more time to travel and do awesome things.
I’m not the kind of person who wants to settle for an average life; I want it to be exceptional.
If you read this blog on a regular basis, than you probably feel the same way.

“I can’t go on…”
I was lifting weights the other day when that thought crept into my head. I was reaching a point where I was doing more than I normally did – past my limitations.
I almost listened to it. I almost packed up my stuff and left.
But I didn’t. I know that the only way to get anywhere in lifting is to go beyond your limits. That’s how you get stronger and build muscle.

Is it me, or does it seem like happiness is a topic that has been getting more and more attention over the past couple of years?
There have been countless books, blog posts and articles written about where to find it, how to get it and how to keep it.
With all the recent talk about it, you’d think there would be enough tips to make finding happiness much easier.
But happiness can still seem elusive. Just when you think you’ve found it, something comes along to take it away.

A few weeks ago, I watched a documentary about Hawaii – specifically about its history and culture.
It’s a good documentary overall, but the story about how Hawaii was discovered particularly caught my attention. It is easily one of the greatest stories about perseverance and determination I’ve ever heard.

I generally like to look on the bright side of things. There is good in everyone if you just look closely.
At the same time I try to be a realist. As good as people are, they sometimes do some really unethical things.
I once read that 53% of all resumes and job applications contain falsifications – everything from misleading dates of employment to degrees listed that were never actually earned.
It seems like a week can’t go by without a sports doping scandal.
This wouldn’t be such a problem if people were always found out. But cheating must work to some extent otherwise people wouldn’t do it.

We’ve all heard that life is short. There’s just not enough time to do everything that we’d like to do.
I know I still have a lot of things I still want to accomplish before I die. It sometimes seems never-ending.
But the problem isn’t that life is too short. It’s usually because we’re not using the time we’re given effectively.
No matter how you look at it, there are only 24 hours in a day. We have to fill that time doing something. Instead of wasting that time, we should be living it.
