What is the best thing that can happen?

Our immediate reaction to something new is usually "what's the worst that can happen?" It is ingrained in our culture and everything about our lives to ask what is the worst thing that can happen. It is the glass half empty outlook. I'm going on a hike by myself, what's the worst that can happen? …

Fear

Fear is a topic that is everywhere I look this week. More than one of the coaches that I learn from have spoken about fear through one of their channels. With one coach, it's just a focus of theirs. With more than one, yeah, it is something I need to talk about. I don't know …

Recovery

Recovery can mean many things to many people. It can be quick, or it can be a process. The most common thing I'm learning that most people in any kind of recovery face is misunderstanding by others. Then the feeling of loneliness. I was having a conversation with a friend yesterday, who is also recovering …

Defense

I don't remember where I first heard this quote, but it turned on a lightbulb for me. You see, I jump to defensiveness immediately.

An assumption is defined as something that is accepted as true or certain to happen without proof. My assumptions are what Eddie and I disagree over the most. Eddie pretty much …

Last Three Months

Now that we are in October, we are in the last three months of the year. Not only that, though, we are in the last three months of the decade. Let that set in a minute. We are in the last three months of this decade. When I heard this fact stated, I felt like …

Words of Affirmation

I started listening to The Five Love Languages by Dr. Gary Chapman. I've taken the quiz before, in fact, multiple times, but I had not yet read or listened to the book. I can't even remember what I determined my love language is. As of writing this, I can't even tell you all of the …

Vulnerability

I never thought I would openly quote Chelsea Handler in anything motivational. I honestly do love listening to her comedy and really connected with her when I was younger. I chose to buy Life Will Be the Death of Me: ...And You Too! on Audible thinking it was another comedic book that Eddie and I could …
