You are just where you are supposed to be
Shit storms is one of my favorite phrases. I live an amazing life. Truly I do. But I also acknowledge there are many shit storms throughout my day/week. By acknowledging these shit storms, I am able to own my story and have less pain from my reality. If I believed these situations should not be […]
Where will you be in six months?
Years ago, I interviewed Peter Walsh and he told me the key to his success: Commit 100%, totally commit. Be absolutely all-in. Wow. 100% commitment means no room for wobble or self-doubt.
