Summary

I think it’s really important what we tell ourselves in the pursuit of our best life and living out the best versions of ourselves, and I think we can actually shut down our momentum / our progress when we set ourselves up with the wrong framework or the wrong expectations.

I don't believe we can “be anything we want to be,” and the blind pursuit has left many people feeling unfulfilled or “less than.”

At the very least, comparison of your lot in life, of your body, your job or your business, your accomplishments - that comparison will kill your joy. But worse, that comparison and “falling short” will oftentimes kill the version of you that IS possible.

Can we be whatever we want to be? Whatever we wish to be? No, I don’t think so. But, there's better news.

0:12.1	couple episodes back and stay tuned for that. Today, though, is a short message for anyone
0:17.8	who feels like they're struggling with their mission, finding their purpose, or what they want to do next. It's also for anyone who feels like they're struggling with their mission, finding their purpose, or
0:22.1	what they want to do next. It's also for anyone who has begun that journey, but then finds
0:27.3	themselves comparing their own progress to other peoples and feeling a bit behind or less than
0:34.3	or like success may just be out of reach. Honestly, it's for anyone who wants to be
0:40.7	living an intentional life and specifically does not want to live life on autopilot. So if that's

1:41.4	lately about happiness, about fulfillment, about creating a purposeful
1:46.9	life. And those are all different concepts in my mind. And I've been thinking about what I am
1:52.9	getting right in each of these areas and what I want to do better. That is, you know,
1:58.9	the recipe for living intentionally is trying to stay awake, right? And
2:03.2	awake to the possibilities and awake to areas of growth. Maybe you can relate to this if you've
