I run into the storm because that’s where the action is. -Steve Rodgers
--------------------------------
Forced transitions either refine you or destroy you - the distinction comes down to how you define yourself and view the worst moments of your life. If you remain constant as the calm in your storm you’ll learn that ups and downs are part of the formula of building a fulfilling life. Keep your eye on what’s important- your bonds, your being, your body, and your business. If you lead with what you have and not who you are - you stand in the way of letting greatness in. When you invite greatness in, you completely transform the why of what you’re doing.
