Do you ever feel like you're racing against an invisible clock, always falling behind life's expectations? When my family moved back to the Midwest amidst the uncertainty of COVID, I found myself caught in a self-generated rat race, feeling the need to catch up. This mindset of 'being behind' is deeply rooted in comparison, especially in our digital age. In this episode, I share two critical reflection questions to help you break free from the constraints of others' timelines and embrace a life aligned with your own values. Discover the importance of intentional living and the power of gratitude as I explore how seasons change and how experimentation leads to a life that truly fits you. Let’s focus on what we have, rather than what we’re chasing, and find deep contentment in the present.
