You and I are both the community. We're communicating, it's fine. We've also been here before - I urge not to _lose_ anyone on the floor, you urge to _strive_ for something else. Neither is wrong, bu...

It's a blanket statement dude. It's heard in business, sport, self development etc. There's truth to it. Again, please answer for yourself instead of worrying what the community thinks. We'll hear fro...

The point of this is not for a cure to stuttering. I'm not anywhere cured as I have my good and bad days just like anyone else. Im just trying to point out a mindset that helped me and I think could h...

He struggled with the word "I", so he never used it. He would always refer to himself as "Bo". "Bo wants to get some tacos" rather than "I want to get some tacos" ...

For years I used to think like this. Always asking myself "why me?". I spent so much time dwelling on it. Wasting a lot of energy on it. It made me sad and I was further away from my goals by thinking...
