I have been dedicating some time each morning to “Thinking time” and have really gotten clear on a lot of things. My thought this morning was a little sobering… We are less than 90 days away from the close of this decade! DECADE! 10 years… poof…

Can your current self look at your 10 year younger self and say.. “We did it” 

Are you today where you said or thought you would be 10 years ago?

Would you be proud to introduce yourself to your 10 year younger self?

I would imagine the vast majority of people reading this would say.. No

If you said no, that’s ok because now you are self aware and have the ability to do something about it. Because what is scarier than not being where you want to be now is being in the the same place today still in 10 years from now. 

I can personally tell you I am nowhere near where I thought I would be at this point in my life, or took the path I thought I would. 10 years ago I had a goal (with no plan) and envisioned this perfectly paved straight road on getting there. I had it all figured out. Looking back 10 years later It was more like hiking through a dense jungle with dead end’s, dangerous animals and no map. 

But I can tell you, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Nothing has been easy, I have been knocked down so many times and have had so many hardships thrown my way but life goes on and so do I. 

I have survived 100% of my worst days.. and guess what so have you. Don’t let your failures define you, but rather let them refine you.

I challenge you to take some time to “think” and reflect on what it is that you actually want and put together a plan of action to make it happen. 

You don’t drown by jumping in the water… you drown by staying there.
