Written by

By releasing control over circumstances, you gain more control over your life. - Kyle Maynard; speaker, author, and ESPY award-winning mixed martial arts athlete, known for achieving all this despite being a congenital amputee.

  • Letting Go

    Whatever it is, if it doesn’t make you happy, walk away, give it away to someone else who wants it. Let it be their next dream; let it flee from you.
