I got to get out of the dreary cold days (BYE Canadian winter) and into the sun. I swam in the ocean. I relaxed in a mineral bath, stood under a waterfall, and ate some of the best food I've ever had.

It was awesome.

But the best thing about this vacation was the perspective shift it gave me

I was thinking about all the things I worry about on a regular basis:

Do I have enough business?

Am I making enough money?

Will this client hate the way I coach?

What if no one comes to my conference?

And I realized something important about these worries:

None of this matters.

In fact, most of the things we worry about don't matter.

If the client hates my coaching, they'll fire me. And I'll get a new client.

If I'm not making enough money, I'll figure out how to make more.

These are all solvable problems.

And they aren't really what matters.

I was sitting on the beach, looking out at the ocean, and I realized:

*This* is what matters.

Spending time with my husband. Having adventures. Laughing.

Enjoying life.

It's incredible what a little perspective can give you.

For me, in this moment, it's given me back my happiness.
