How can you be a better person? Maybe you're a student, athlete, musician, artist, teacher, parent, coach, or all of the above...no matter who or what you are, there is always room for improvement. Why not put in the effort? Don't just go through the motions—find the joy! Enjoy the process, the journey, and the passion. If you're not living life on the edge, then you are simply taking up too much room.

My Advice

First, I want you to ask yourself these five crucial questions:

1. 1. What do you enjoy?
2. 2. Where do you excel?
3. 3. What do others encourage in you?
4. 4. What comes effortlessly to you?
5. 5. What gives you energy?
