Would you write? Would you paint? Would you dance? 

There is surely something you would do with more freedom, more grace. We evolved as social beings, reliant on one another to survive. It wasn’t encouraged to stand out or stray from the norm. We’ve carried this belief with us into the modern era. An era in which we are less reliant on fitting in with those around us.

Time is relative. It can fall through your fingers like sand or float as it falls like snowflakes. It depends on your perspective and what you are paying attention to. 

You can’t force yourself to be something you’re not. You’ve tried that before. It only leads to disappointment. Start from where you are and choose your path accordingly. Cultivate boldness by creating space between you and your expectations.

There are no shortcuts. If you are searching for the simplest strategy to succeed, this is it.

Seek out discomfort to stretch beyond your comfort zone. Accept opportunities that will challenge you to learn quicker than you think you can.

The only way to truly learn and understand something is by doing it. Reading books, watching videos, and listening to podcasts will open pathways in your brain. But you need to act out the principles you absorb for those pathways to remain open.
