A life coach who thinks she knows what you "should" do with your life? Tread with caution.

When you’re not sure that you can do something, it’s usually because the voices of fear have found lots of evidence for why you “can’t.” But not being sure if you can do something is NOT a reason for avoiding the thing you really want to do (in fact, it might be the exact reason TO DO the thing you really want to do!).

I love Simon Sinek’s concept of “Start with why.” When you know your why , change becomes easier and you aren’t struggling as much when things get hard. Best of all? You stop making your life into a Personal Growth Project and start truly living.

Feeling run-down? Constantly kicking the fun to next week, next year, some time later when you have more time? I’ve so been there—and I revolutionized my time when I started using the principle of pleasure, first.
