Attempting to hold yourself to a higher standard is a powerful way to live a life that satisfies and feels full of meaning and purpose. But be careful. All standards can be taken to extremes.
There is a purpose to suffering. It’s the rumble strip on the edge of the motorway of life – an invitation to head back where the road is smooth and easy
We can certainly fall into a rut of thinking we know, but we never do. We never can. Our story is being told as we live it, and anticipating it as such makes a world of difference.
The darkest time of the year and we’re in need of a little light. When the sun is small, our hearts have to shine that little bit extra. Direct some of that back at yourself.

There is no perfect time, you will never be ready, you will never be free of doubt. All magic comes from boldness, from deciding. That’s when it all can begin.
