Sometimes life throws things at us that feel impossible, as if we're stuck and the challenge is too big to overcome. But the truth is that how we choose to approach situations, and especially the words we say to ourselves, truly matters.

In today's clip, Marie Forleo reminds us that everything is figureoutable. In other words, when we believe that we can face any challenge handed to us, our view of the world and its obstacles changes dramatically.

Are you feeling like you're ready for change? Giving ourselves permission to try something new is more about getting to know ourselves—our passions, our dreams, our strengths—rather than taking a path we've been taught we should take. As parents, it's easier to teach what we know than to actually live it, but that's where self-awareness and self-discipline come in.

Today's clip with John Maxwell teaches us that the decisions we make need to align with our greater values and purpose in order to bring fulfillment, both personally and professionally. Whether you're raising kiddos, leading a team, or simply wanting to be a better human, this episode will challenge you to reflect and take action.
