Journaling is the throughline in all of my work, too. Beautifully said:
Journaling: Writing is the most significant therapeutic outlet for me.
I write in a journal to express my thoughts, feelings, and memories; this often brings clarity.
I review a gratitude journal I keep, which helps provide me with perspective during difficult times.

“The true and durable path into and through experience involves being true…
to your own solitude, true to your own secret knowledge.”
— Seamus Heaney
Progress requires reinvention.
— Order follows chaos
— Growth follows decay
— Clarity follows overwhelm
To become the type of person who can reach your highest goals, you must shed the old identities, beliefs, and habits that aren't serving you.

Intentional journal writing is:
1) Asking yourself potent questions
2) Daring to tell the truth about your experience
3) Getting insight & answers from your inner guidance
It's a dialogue between you and YOU.

yup. need to be reminded on the daily of these:
10 things you probably need to hear
Act now
Time is limited
Stop trying to fit in
Focus on your effort
Focus on your attitude
Pressure is a privilege
Failure is a sign of growth
Talent only takes you so far
Confidence is earned not given
Work even when you don't feel like it

Who will you be five years from now? Design it.
Everybody has plans for the future, but do we ever plan for our future selves?
All entrepreneurs on X should have a 5-year business plan:
- What business you are growing.
- Where you are going to take it.
- What that will look like.
But I wonder what would happen if we did the same with our personalities.
Almost everyone wants to be a better version of themselves, but I don't know anyone who creates a Persona Plan, mapping out exactly how they would do this or what that looks like.

Gratitude is my go-to for instant perspective shift:
Gratitude isn't:
- some forced expression of positivity
- pretending everything's perfect
- ignoring the truth
I've learned that gratitude is a decision:
- where you came from was enough
- what you have now is more than enough
- where you're going, you will be enough
