As we get ready to start a new year and a new decade, I've been reflecting on what I'm grateful for as well as what I am grateful to leave behind. In a recent conversation with a potential client, I was reminded of one thing I'm particularly grateful to leave behind: the pursuit of “special”.

What if the only thing between you and having a whole new experience of who you can be is an illusion of THOUGHT?

Have you ever had the thought, “I'm not living up to my potential”? Or were you like me as a child and perhaps your parent was told this by your teacher? Does potential look like something to achieve or demonstrate?

You can't learn to ride a bike by reading about it. Learning how to balance while pedaling can only happen one way—by getting on the bike. You can't learn to play the piano without touching the keys. You cannot master driving without getting behind the wheel and spending time on the road. Do you see where I'm headed?
