Submit them here: MeaningfulHQ.com/contact.html or email them to me here: questions@deanbokhari.com ABOUT THIS EPISODE: I'm no relationship counselor, but earlier this year the wifey + I came up with 11 things we think will help us maintain a happy relationship. We think they're awesome. Hopefully you will, too At the beginning of every year, I like to sit down and do a year-end reflection of the previous year… I think about the wins, the challenges, the goals or areas of my life that I’d like to build upon as I move forward into another new year, and any new goals I’d like to pursue in the year ahead. One of the things that made this past yearly reflection especially enriching, was the inclusion of my wife, Amna and our newborn, Nora. (I’d always done my yearly reflection totally solo up until now.) So in addition to all of the stuff I usu

But there are certain situations during which it can be not just productive—but even conducive to success—to procrastinate. And those a

Have you ever had a great idea with lots of potential — but failed to take action on making it happen? Have you ever started a new gym routine, diet, project or program of any kind — but failed to follow through on it? If you answered “yes” to any of the aforementioned questions, then you’re in the same boat as everyone else — suffering from what author Steven Pressfield refers to as “Resistance.” In his book, The War of Art, Pressfield tells us that ”Most of us have two lives.
