Beyond - Finding Freedom & Meaning in the Everyday In the grand scheme of things, all there is, is change. Change is the only constant, so I have been told. I look out the window as winter recedes, the special sunlight of spring shining through the pane of glass, compelling me to go outside. As [...]
What if you could never procrastinate? What if, in fact, something else was going on? Something you were barely aware of because you focused on the idea of your - procrastinating and not on the real issue. “Beyond the label you have placed on your inaction is the truth.” I love this one because, in [...]
You’ve heard it all before: “You have to feel motivated — you have to be determined in order to achieve what you want.” I don’t know about you, but those words are feeling pretty empty and shallow to me these days.
