What we talk about:

  • This is where a good accountability partner can come into play. Or you need to really become self-honest and reflective and ask yourself important questions like
  • Am I truly open to accepting change, responsibility, advice, input, criticism?
  • It takes experience, perspective, and discipline to shift to a growth mindset and once you get there it’s like unlocking all the cheat codes in a video game. The possibilities are endless.
  • You are going to have bad days. 
  • No it’s not feasible that everything is perfect like an Instagram post there will be days you will get punched in the face.
  • The idea is to minimize those days or isolate the bad moments in a day and not let them ruin all 1440 minutes of your day.
  • Growth and fulfillment often lie on the other side of hell
  • We want to continue to grow and learn as we age.
