The Answers Are Within
I don't often ask people's opinion before I buy something.
It doesn't naturally occur to me to ask "what is everyone wearing" before going to an event.
I didn't ask one single person for their thoughts when I decided to start my own business.
I consider myself hyper independent; and yet, I still seek approval, validation, acceptance in many...
Choice
Certainty is never certain.
We don’t get that.
We get probabilities.
We get odds in our favor
And odds that aren’t in our favor
We get chances
Some we take
Some we don’t
We get reasons to celebrate
We get reasons to mourn
In all of it we get choice
Choice to choose what we do with...
You Don't Have To Go To Paris
Four years ago I had to go to London for work.
Since I was over there, I decided to extend my trip and spend a few days in Paris for a long weekend by myself.
I had never been before.

It's constant and relentless.
And it gets louder and more persistent the bigger the idea or goal.
The more important.

This isn't a coincidence.
When I left my career...
Are You a Perfectionist?
Perfect is an opinion.
It's a convenient way to avoid putting yourself out there.

Are you caught in the Thick of Thin things?
Have you ever heard this saying?
Being caught in the thick of thin things.
It’s new to me and perfectly representative of what I see so many people do, particularly at work.
Personally, I remember being both busy and bored.
This saying seems to describe this - being busy with things that don’t actually matter or...

Creating a self concept you love is the start to identifying your true wants.
Creating the feelings and actions needed to go out and get them.
It's the start to...
Self Confidence vs. Confidence
Know the difference?
If you don't, you want to.
Knowing the difference and how to create each can help you move through uncertainty and become a more confident person.
Knowing this made a big difference in my life.
Watch and then decide, how self confident are you on a scale of 1-10?
What would you need to think to make it a 10?
