My Diet Today

Carbs will be the death of me.

Tortillas, breadsticks, pasta, custard. BUTTER.

It all tastes so good. I just can't help myself.

A Lesson From History

History is good for the soul and mind.

Learning of the triumphs, deeds, misfortunes, and sorrows of others gives a rejuvenating perspective to life. It can help us strive for success and beat adversity. It can be our companion when we feel the world has turned its back on us, only to realize we are amongst billions who have encountered perilous times much worse than our personal plight.

Most importantly, history reminds us that we are only human. When familiarizing ourselves with the past, we are in company of everyone else who has run, skipped, or trudged through all of life's experiences. We can look to these individuals who already paved their way through life to make a substantial imprint. We can draw strength from their examples, in an effort to make our own distinctive mark in the world.

What will yours be?
