Anything we do one time is not going to be done great. We have to keep doing things over and over, and then before you know it, it’s become something easy. The problem arises when we think about what we want to change, do, or be, and fear barges in to start the doubts. Even […]
I could have written an easy blog about the mechanics of speaking better, like how “He doesn’t know how to ride a bike” sounds better than “He don’t know how to ride a bike” because it disagrees with the subject. Nope, I decided to go deep. When we speak to one another, there’s a transfer […]
