  • happy moments

    I’m not optimizing my life for success anymore. I’m optimizing it for maximum happy moments.

    Posted by Matthew Voss on July 28, 2020March 31, 2021

    Each day you live is a garden. What seeds will you plant?

    Posted by Matthew Voss on May 30, 2020March 31, 2021

    You are more than the habits your fears created

    Posted by Matthew Voss on May 26, 2020March 31, 2021

    You are more than the behaviors your fears created. The number of times you hit snooze last year does not define you. The number of times you cancelled plans because you had social anxiety does …

    You can’t hate yourself into a better you

    Posted by Matthew Voss on February 21, 2020March 31, 2021

    I thought if I did enough self improvement I would be happy. I thought that losing the weight, learning to beat procrastination, and practicing happiness affirmations would make me a content human being. But my …
