  9. The 10-8-6 plan versus 3 sets of 10...a story of mentality

    What's the real difference between going into a gym with a 10-8-6 mentality and going in with a "three sets of ten" mentality? In my opinion, it's a huge one. But this mentality is something that that we carry with us in all aspects of life, not just the gym.

  14. The Keys to the Kingdom

    I think we focus on the wrong thing when it comes to religion and trying to represent Jesus. What does it really mean to be right? what does it really mean to be a good person?
