Financial and lifestyle resources to help you live life on your terms.
Why do others always see what isn't working in your life before you do? I find it particularly annoying, I mean really!
In my case, the person who always sees what's going to blow up in my face way before I'm willing to see it is my husband. He's always right in the end, but he's not pushy about it or judgmental (yes, he's a saint). He's happy to let me fall flat on my face (when I deserve it) and offers advice when I seek his counsel.

It feels incredible. However much time has gone by, you have accomplished more work in one sitting than you sometimes are able to accomplish all day, maybe even all week!
Congratulations! It means you achieved a state of "flow".
Read MoreI just updated my LinkedIn profile and I am filled with a mix of apathy and mild disgust.
