Every day, I feel like I am pushed and pulled by people, things, and life into different directions, different mindsets. I talk a lot about keeping a constant focus on your goals, but the best way to do that is to remain yourself through all of the pushing and pulling. People, things, life will get…
We always have an expectation of how something might turn out. What it will look like once things start progressing, how an action will cause a reaction, etc. But, life often decides to throw a curveball right past our expectations. We think we have the answer on lock - we think it HAS TO BE…
