Thoughtful Thursdays - Marc and Angel Chernoff

A close friend recently introduced me to the wisdom and inspirational words of Marc and Angel Chernoff. Their blog, “Marc and Angel Hack Life” features over 600 articles on happiness, productivity, emotional intelligence, relationships, and general self-improvement, and has attracted over 100 million page views and 100 thousand subscribers since 2006.

The site has since been added to my favourites, I could spend hours browsing it but I wanted to share one particularly article with you all, '30 things to start doing for yourself' as I think it's something everyone should read and reflect upon. These '30 things' are all great mantras to live by and I think we should all be more aware of things we can do for ourselves to be happy.
