You will go through struggles in your life. It's not a matter of if; it's a matter of when and how many.

Because it will help you focus on what's most important in your life and keep things in perspective as you move forward during all the ups and downs of your life. The fact is, you are never guaranteed tomorrow, and yesterday...

Here's a behind-the-scenes look at my break from all social media and why I would highly recommend it to you.
