Time to shed light on who really is responsible for your lack of success.

Who is it to blame for your lack of success? How hard are you actually trying to change your body composition? Did you give it your best effort? Success is a tricky thing to accomplish, especially when it comes to fitness.

Most believe they know the keys to success and how to implement them, but few every see real rewards. Why is that? Today, I’m challenging you to look into yourself and ask “What am I doing to reach my goal?” Then I want you to look deeper and ask, “how do I attain that goal?”

Is it a life style change? Do you need better self-control over the foods you eat? The process of change and success starts within; I know, that seems like something straight from talk show television but it really is true. If you don’t want to change, you won’t because truth is no one is going to care about your personal change besides yourself. Sure, trainers and the such can guide you, but ultimately it is on you to really pull your own weight and deliver.

There are no quick fixes and most of us will find it bordering on impossible to keep that change going but that doesn’t mean you can’t fit in the small percentage that really is inspired to change their bodies. Most people will cop out and just talk the talk, but few ever find the courage to walk the walk.

I’m challenging you to step outside your own comfort level with the same mundane routine which never yields results, into creating a whole new work out plan (with help if you wish from professionals) so you finally reach your goals. No more going to the gym to smooze and no more “I’ll get serious about it tomorrow,” act on your intentions and change now.

At first, change will be difficult but after the routine goes on and you can get more comfortable, you’ll set into a new groove and see results. After a while on that routine, I encourage you to change it again, but trust me; once you have changed your workouts once, then to mix things up again won’t seem so impossible.

Go out and achieve what you want. Don’t just follow the same boring workouts that honestly never give you the results you want. Challenge yourself to greater heights and work on new movements of which you were maybe too hesitant to try before. You’ll thank yourself later for the bigger challenge and the new you.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
