Stop trying to cajole people to behave and think the way YOU have decided they should. You don’t know what’s for you. They don’t know what’s best for you. You have each other’s best in mind but at the end of the day: allow them to be them so they can allow you to be you.

Episode 6: Put In More Effort
It’s time to stop standing on the sidelines and jump into the fray of what you want. Yes, you may have put a little effort here, done another little step there but what would happen if you put your full intention into making it happen and cutting out everything that is not the thing you actually want. Get focused and get moving.
