Are you patting yourself on the back enough? Chances are if you’re moving too hastily towards your intended goals you’re not taking ample time to enjoy your accomplishments. And doing so has so many benefits that it’s something we should definitely develop the habit of doing more of. But make no mistake, the decision to do so begins with you.
First off taking our due credit for a job well done helps to crystallize in our minds that we’re making progress.… Read the rest of the article
Life is quite the adventure. I confess that there are times, on the rare occasion where I question my abilities. Incidentally, if you’re curious, no, I don’t consider that a weakness, instead I like to call it being human 🙂
Perhaps you can relate to any of the following questions having run through your mind before: Am I as successful as I should be? Have I lived up to my full potential? Should I have done such and such. Should I have chosen this over that.… Read the rest of the article
If you’ve been on your own personal development journey for any amount of time you’ve undoubtedly met with some challenges along the way. Challenges aren’t a bad thing.

There are any number of things that will either propel you forward, or hold you back when it comes to getting ahead in your professional and personal life.
