We often take on roles that we are not fully aware of. Whether you’re a doctor and allow that to influence your behavior outside of the workplace, or a parent who never quite let go when your kids got older, the roles we identify with tend to take over our lives.

The people who love you aren’t the people who know best. YOU know what is best for you. Trust that and lead with it.

Many people find themselves, especially at very transformative periods in their lives, having to defend their decisions to others. Much of that pressure stems from people (often friends and family) who pressure us into answering questions and giving up clear cut answers so they can make sense of what you’re doing. This can often be toxic to your process and you should be aware that it is a reflection of their own insecurity and need to justify their own choices.

Not all partnership is good partnership, but the right partnership can make all of the difference.

At the end of the day, no amount of success, no number of tasks marked off of a to-do list come close to the impact of people. Get close to them and use their influence to change your perspective and your life.

So many of us misrepresent our truth on social media, through personal journaling, and every other form of documenting we do in our lives. Often, we don’t even do it intentionally, we’re just programmed to present ourselves how we hope to be. Here’s why you should put in the work to make sure you’re documenting your reality.

Examining the categories of personality and what determines how well we know and can complement someone.

In a world where we’re led to believe that we have to be working to be moving forward, understand that your lulls in productivity are also part of the process.
