You’ll ever be enough. you’ll never match up to what everyone else is doing. You’ll never be the good enough version of yourself that you’re trying to be. You’re too short. You’re not smart enough. You’re too ____. The lies keep swarming around us like we’re a swarm of bees around a bee hive. But…

Fight or flight? Which is your go to? I know some people who run for the hills when trouble hits. They bury their head in the sand or flee and retreat to a corner and just break. Then there are the other kinds of people who come out with guns blazing ready to take out…
Big! Grand! Huge! Enormous! Impact! Passion! Power! These are words that we try to claim. We want to make a big impact int the world. We like to have credit given for our accomplishments. We try to make the biggest splash in the pool, build the biggest tower, amass the most money, drive the best…
