Growth is realizing that what you thought was your "skin" is actually just an "outfit."You have the permission to loosen your grip on being the "Reliable Expert" or the "Hardest Worker." They were roles you wore to get here—not who you are.What outfit have you outgrown?

Stop trying to 'find' yourself.
You aren't a set of lost keys.You are a work of art
that you are actively
painting every single day.

Your life is the sum of where you place your attention.Choose your inputs as carefully as you choose your food (assuming you eat healthy that is!)

You are not the person you were five years ago. You shouldn't try to live by that person's rules.Allow yourself the grace to evolve.
You aren't being inconsistent; you're being alive.

Silence is often the loudest thing in the room.Learn to be comfortable with it. People who fear silence usually fear what they'll hear if they stop talking.

Consistency > Intensity. Reading 5 pages a day beats reading 1 book every six months. Development happens in the boring, daily repetitions, not the weekend retreats.

Most of us are working a second job no one pays us for:
the effort of looking good, hiding our weaknesses, and managing how others see us.It feels like protection, but it's a quiet drain on our energy and our growth.

There's a lot of energy spent on 'being right' or being the 'smartest' in the room.Maybe it feels good for the ego, but if we're the smartest person in the room we may also be the ceiling.Growth happens when we're curious about our 'truths'. What’s a standard or 'truth' you let go of?

You can't heal a relationship with either side is not willing to consider other truths.'Maturity' is choosing to learn without needing to be right.

I used to think I had migrane issues. Turns out I was just way too caffeine-dependent. Don’t be like me…before you diagnose yourself with a complex affliction, maybe try a glass of water and a nap first :)
