Anguish can return.

Desperation can find its way back.

Hopelessness somehow fights to come inside.

Yet, no matter the despair, the solution is always outside of us, it is always turning from inside ourselves to thinking about others. 

The solution is always service. 

Once you have a desire to do or become something, then you need to believe you can do it. Once you know where you want to go, you can figure out where you are, and then draft a plan, a step-by-step process of how to bridge the gap. This plan will include daily actions, skill development, ways to avoid, reduce, or overcome potential challenges, and people who can support you along the way. Once this plan is written down, all it takes is commitment. Commit to the plan and watch your desire become your reality. 

The more defined the destination, the more clear the road becomes. Thus masterfully crafting your end objective is how you create your journey’s path. 

Working toward limits will always limit our results.

Working toward imagination erases false boundaries and enables new possibilities. 

Some people do better work than others, trust them.

Some people care more than others, trust them. 

Some people show up, trust them. 

When there is contention, or conflict we often forget to self-regulate our emotions due to lack of commitment to actually solve the problem. We desire a preferred outcome, but not an overall solution.  Personal outcomes often differ from group or other-focused solutions. 

If you have a mission, it means you are committed to something. Goals help you accomplish your mission, and can change, but your mission is your ultimate objective, your super purpose. Set a mission and stay committed. Set goals and adjust as you go. 

We all can have different goals, but the mission should be unified… 

Happy Birthday, Julia!

Repeatable processes that get performed/done are always better in the long-term than short moments inconsistent intense activity. 

You don’t need outside validation. 

You don’t need to prove yourself. 

You are already good enough. 

You are already worthy. 

Master repetition and you will become a master. Repetition is a great teacher. Yet, repetition can also be the great deceiver.  Sometimes, we are so into our habits, that we forget to focus and underestimate what we don’t anticipate. Repetition is needed to learn how to act, yet it must be abandoned from time to time in order to truly grow and adapt.
