What Do You Have To Give?

The journey of growth for each of us is a personal one and means something different to each of us. Mine has been one of reflection, awareness, and a focus on authenticity.

There is so much being thrown at us every day. Personally and professionally, trying to BALANCE the needs of self and those of others is important.

In reflection, I was looking at things in totality, identifying my strengths and weaknesses and looking to attack them all at once. I found myself stuck in the mud and going nowhere fast.

It wasn't until I realized I needed to keep it simple that I could enjoy and recognize the path to grow. Maybe it wasn't about "fixing it all" but enhancing the strengths that were already there. By simplifying and developing a plan – focusing on my "20 Square Feet" – I was able to develop internal depth that allowed me to give more to others who needed me during this time.

You can't give what you don't have. The self-reflection and the work to grow personally can be overwhelming if you let it be. But learning to live in the simple, to find the balance, and ultimately give enough to yourself so you can pour into others all work in unison to help enhance the journey of growth you that we are all on.

So join me in stepping into the simple. To get better each and every day. To be better today than yesterday, so you can be better tomorrow than you were today.

How are you winning?
