It's a challenge.

But here's the good news.

It's a challenge you're capable of handling, of overcoming.

Life is about stepping into things we don't feel ready for and then learning repeatedly that we can piece together the knowledge along the way.

It reminds us that fear is going to show up regardless of what we do in life.

But to grow into the people we are capable of becoming, we have to understand that fear is, in its own unique way, an invitation.

The discomfort doesn't mean something's wrong.

Often the opposite.

It's letting you know that more is available.

That you are right where you need to be, but you have to change in order to become worthy of what's on the other side.

Life is not saying no, it's merely demanding of you courage, and courage you have.

Jack Welch has said, control your own destiny or someone else will.

And I'm passing this along today as I believe it's one of the most important things to understand.

Not a once and done thing, but a reoccurring question.

Where have I relinquished control?

How can I recapture what matters most?

As the world around us shifts, slips, and slides, so does our grasp on it.

Which is why I find this continuous self-reflection so powerful.

I have a flight this afternoon, which means I have a hard deadline and a lot I need to do before I head down to the Miami airport.

I've been traveling a lot recently, which means I've been finding myself in this situation a lot recently.
