We live in a world that glorifies the grind. If you aren’t exhausted, over-caffeinated, and answering emails at 11:30 PM, are you even successful? The modern “Hustle Culture” suggests that resting is a sign of weakness and that taking a break is a guilty pleasure reserved for the weak-willed. But there is a quote that…
We live in an era of doom-scrolling, imposter syndrome, and an inexplicable fear of making phone calls. It is very easy to want to curl up into a ball and hide from the universe. But, there is a quote that has been floating around for decades that demands you do the exact opposite. “Never bend…

When Dr. Maya Angelou spoke, the world generally stopped what it was doing to listen. She had a voice that sounded like it was made of velvet and tectonic plates—soothing, but capable of shaking the ground beneath you. Among her many gems of wisdom is a quote that stands out for its sheer, kinetic energy:…

Let’s face it: casinos are stressful. The lights are too bright, the carpets are aggressively ugly, and the house always wins. Most of us get sweaty palms just thinking about putting a hundred bucks on Red 23 at the roulette table. It turns out, Queen B feels the same way. Beyoncé—global icon, musical titan, and…
We have all been there. Maybe it was a passive-aggressive email from a coworker, a backhanded compliment from a frenemy, or a straight-up insult from a random internet troll.
