I first discovered Dan Buettner’s Blue Zones through my mother. Attempting to change her diet and live a healthier life, she sought the book out as a blueprint to a possible lifestyle change. I browsed through it, did some internet research, and found the subject matter quite fascinating: there were pocketed communities all around the [...]

Will Smith is one of the most inspirational men on this earth. This video is one of the few that I can re-watch over and over again and still take away something new. Everytime I hear him talk about success, work ethic, and making a CHOICE on how your destiny is going to roll out, [...]
