Idea #7: My Best?
Masters. 1st Place. 48. Still Got It. What about when I don’t? The questions we ask ourselves, after we’ve been through the grinder. Those are the most important ones to ask ourselves. Did we do that? Did we bring it? Or, did we not. Just hesitated, sided with our human side or anxiety or procrastination?... Continue Reading →
Idea #5 DO NOTHING

Quote Roulette: James Clear
Today’s quote was exactly what I needed to read. It popped up in my usual spot. Creating my intention for the day, writing and reflecting on the day’s intended outcome, and then boom!
