You’re not behind. You’re right where you need to be.

Every day presents an opportunity to rise to the occasion. Who you become, what you will do, what you will say "no" to, are all before you. They are a choice. You can choose. Choose well. And rise.
You’re worthier than you know

But you’re not an imposter! … Continue reading You’re worthier than you know
Accomplish more by thinking like this
"You need to be more 'realistic'" is a phrase that we hear. We say it to ourselves. But that is shaping our mindset, and it's stifling you. Mediocrity is borne on such words.

This is one of the smartest things you can do
It’s easy to feel stupid when you’re trying something new. But you’re not. I’ve been there. I felt that when I started this blog, my businesses, and pretty much every other venture I’ve tried.
