The other week I met some coworkers for drinks. After a few rounds, we started to ask each other deep philosophical questions about life and love. Alcohol will do that... One person noticed the ring on my finger. She was younger and still in a new relationship. Curious as to how I made the decision …
I recently saw a clip on social media that resonated with me. In the thirty-second clip, entrepreneur Ed Mylett explains how self-confidence is someone who keeps promises to themselves.
