Criticism comes in two forms. Constructive, which helps you grow. Destructive, which tears you down. Sad to say, but some people just don’t have your best interests at heart.

If you’re ever wondering why you find yourself stuck in your own life, you likely don’t have to look much further than your own self.

You don’t have to look too far before you get bombarded with the world’s idea of success. That ideal usually has something to do with money, status, power, statistics/numbers, and the like.
