You Already Know What You’re Going to Do
I was watching a television show the other day and at one point in the episode one of the characters went to therapy. During the session, the therapist looked at the character and said, “You already know what you’re going to do. You’ve already made up your mind and you know what you’re going to… Continue reading

Leaning into FEAR
I was going through my notebook the other day and I found a quote I wrote down a while back. I mentioned it in this post almost a year ago, but it hit me hard when I saw it again and I wanted to share it. It is from The School of Greatness podcast, episode… Continue reading

To My Fellow Tough Eggs
Often when I meet someone new, or when I see someone for the first time in a long time, or sometimes for no reason at all, I feel very shy and quiet and unable to start, continue, or enjoy a conversation. I put a lot of pressure on myself, demanding, THIS IS ON YOU, and… Continue reading

Give Thursday a Chance
So it’s Thursday. Which means it’s almost Friday. Which means it’s practically the end of the entire week. Which means there’s no point in starting anything now. Right?
