  15. Defender - Pick up Your Shield

    I want to be a Spartan Warrior. One of my favorite movies growing up was the movie, "300". I love the brutal beatdowns the Spartan warriors gave almost everyone that faced them.

    You are right. I believe these three words are some of the most powerful words you could ever say because they not only humble you, but it also helps you have empathy and see another side. I have been trying to say that a lot more lately too. Even though I have been posting normal content the…
