Would you consider yourself a courageous person?

At some point within the last few decades, the word “help” has become a word of powerlessness. Starting right now, let’s change that!

Thinking positively can actually help us to lead more healthy and positive lives!

We are inundated with messages to “follow our passion” all the time, but how often do we think about our purpose?

“Get used to living in the unknown because you never know what you’ll find there.”

I think it’s important to recognize the less Instagram-worthy parts of graduating and “becoming an adult.”

As leaders, we all need a great chair. I don’t mean literally, but we should all have a place or practice that allows us to decompress, to ponder, to think bigger and better than we might on a daily basis.

So often we make ‘learning’ out to be synonymous with ‘school’ or ‘education’. But we limit ourselves with this mindset by discrediting the vast amount of things that we learn outside of a traditional classroom. 

I was only two years old the first time my parents took me camping. From that moment, the mountains, rivers, and deserts in my backyard became my playground and my classroom.

Dang, I feel so good about what I did! I put in full effort! I put in WORK! I gave my all and I’m ready to do more, right now!

To lead or not to lead? That is the question. When we meet challenges that seem too enormous to solve, when unexpected change derails our plans, when our resolute values and principles are tested, or when we are challenged to step outside of our comfort zones to try something new, we are being called upon to lead.
