DISCOMFORT
It’s so hard to feel discomfort; to endure it when we don’t know what is on the other side. It’s so much easier when we know what is coming. A hard hike, but we know the view of the lake is spectacular. Cleaning the garage, […]
PERFECTIONISM
It’s almost paralyzing. We either people please or become so incredibly unproductive in an effort to be perfect. Either way, we can’t possibly be our true selves. Perfection is so much about how we want the world to view us, not who we really are. […]
