We would all like more money. We’d all like to own certain things. These are common goals—but how suited are they, actually, with our lifestyle and plans for ourselves? Does the idea of the goal align with what pursuing and living that goal would actually look and feel like?

Social media has become this weird instant portal to everyone you know. No one is ever really unreachable, and often, other people think this means you are instantly accessible. Which then can make you feel like you should be available all the time. This is where it becomes a problem. And we need to talk about it.

Tell me if this scenario looks familiar: you’ve started gaining a little momentum, but you don’t feel ready to fully claim this thing you're doing. Because it’s not quite where you really want it to be yet and you’d rather not have it judged just yet, in this unrefined, imperfect state. So you're kind of just...doing it halfway.

Finding yourself feeling a little lost lately? These are confusing times. Despite that, I still do believe that at our core, we have what we need, and the answers we seek. The key is to look at the things going on in your life that you want to change, and ask questions until you get to the root.

No one told me that when you start a business, it's only partially about business. Nothing will grow you and hold a mirror up to all your tendencies and beliefs like owning a business. Despite huge growth and powerful progress in every area of my life, I noticed a theme: feeling unappreciated and unrecognized.
