  The Real Reason You Keep Failing — And How to Stop It Forever Let me ask you a question: Why do people fail? Not just once. Not just in business. But again… and again… and again — in relationships, in school, in life? You might think it’s because they’re not smart enough, not skilled enough, or not lucky enough. But that’s not it. People fail because they don’t know what failure really is. And until you understand that, you'll keep making the same mistakes — no matter how hard you try. But once you get it… You'll become unstoppable. So read to the end, because this one shift in mindset might change everything.  What Failure Actually Is Let’s forget all the fancy definitions. Here’s what failure really means:  Failure is not accomplishing your aim.  That’s it. Simple. And it doesn’t have to be a big goal. You can fail at something as small as writing a blog post — or as huge as building a company. The size doesn’t matter. What matters ...

  Dr. Martin Luther King’s Most Underrated but Profoundly Life-Changing Speech There’s a speech by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that almost no one talks about—but everyone should hear. It’s not the “I Have a Dream” speech. It’s not from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or the pulpit of a grand church. It’s from a junior high school . In 1967, just months before his death, Dr. King stood before a group of students at Barratt Junior High School in Philadelphia and delivered what I now believe is one of the most powerful messages ever spoken about life, purpose, and legacy. The speech is called “What Is Your Life’s Blueprint?” It’s only about 20 minutes long—but it shook me. It made me pause. Reflect. Rethink how I’ve been building my life. Here’s why this speech matters—and why I think every dreamer, student, creator, and leader should hear it. 1. Your Worth Is Non-Negotiable Dr. King begins with a truth we often forget in a world that constantly tries to measure our ...

"Real self-respect is seeing yourself the same even when dressed in your best and worst."  —Keneng Mathias Almost everything you've read on the internet about building self-confidence is false. It's a tough claim but let me justify. How many times have you read blog posts selling you ideas to become confident: make strong eye contact while speaking, stand upright, speak louder, etcetera. The truth is those are emblems of self-confidence, not the cause. They are but proofs that confidence is here, not the real thing.

It's like a man who has an apple tree and a mango tree in his yard, unfortunately he doesn't like mangoes. So he prunes all the mango fruits from the tree, then glued apple fruits to his mango tree; and expects it to start producing apples. Won't you call him insane, who behaved like that? You will. Unfortunately many...
