Fill it back up. Drink it again. Repeat. Do this as much as you can. You'd be surprised at what common problems (headaches, colds, etc) are caused by people simply not drinking enough water.

Doing Attracts Doers

January 24, 2012 By Joel Runyon 50 Comments

A few years ago, I was doing nothing with my life. I was sitting around watching all these really incredible people doing really inspiring things, while I was sitting around on my butt, wishing I could be like them.

Do The Impossible: 50 Quotes To Inspire You To Do The Impossible

January 10, 2012 By Joel Runyon 13 Comments

50 Impossible Quotes Part of the deal with writing is that some of what you write resonates with people, while some of it completely misses the mark. I try to combat this by hitting publish, even when I'm not sure whether or not what I'm writing sucks. However, while I've written my share of bad posts over the last few years, there are also a few that have captured people's attention. Some of the most popular posts I've ever written have been the following ...
