In so many success stories, we hear about how major movements towards goals didn’t happen until the final hour or until the person literally had nothing else to lose. These kinds of odds and triumphing over these challenges is what makes success stories so compelling – and inspiring. The thing about the energy of chaos is that it has the ability to catapult us in the direction we want to go. All we have to

It can be hard to see your struggle as a test when you’re in the middle of it. It’s in those moments of wondering if it’s really even worth it to keep going, that you have to dig deeper and rely on discipline, rather than motivation. You aren’t going to be motivated 100% of the time about your goal. You have to trust that staying disciplined, even when it is the last thing you want

When we are going through difficult times, it can be hard to reframe all that is happening to us. Believing that all the pain and hardship we are experiencing is really just preparing us for what we have wanted is much easier said than done. The journey that we take is more important than the destination we arrive to. You see, all the trials and tribulations during our journey prepares us for our next level

Ask anyone who is afraid of losing something how easy it is to let go of those fears. For many of us, it feels impossible.

We focus on our fears because it gives us some sense of control by causing us to go into “predictive mode”.

Our wellness has many components. Sometimes we can do everything “right” in our life by staying physically and mentally healthy and still get a medical diagnosis that changes everything. I know for me, being diagnosed with cancer young wasn’t something I felt prepared to deal with. It was shocking and for a period of time, I would wake up in the morning, thinking that I had just had the worst nightmare of having cancer. It

So much easier said than done, right? When we feel hurt or upset by someone who has a history of hurting us, it’s easy to respond in a righteously indignant fashion. We want an apology or some kind of indication that they get how hurtful they were and truly feel sorry that they hurt us. Again. That’s what’s fair and what’s right, isn’t it?
