Text Emily! I learned two very simple and polar opposite lessons in June: Quit what you hate Keep going on what matters The key is mastering the art of discernment to determine which is which! Lesson #1: Leave It - If you don't like it, quit! If something in life or business is coming up with more "cons" than "pros", you don't need to try to convince yourself it's a good fit. You can quit! If it's causing you harm, if you just don't like it anymore, if you've outgrown it, you're allowed to let it go. For now, for good, for as long as you need to. Lesson #2: Live It The opposite lesson is also equally important: If you really want to do, be, or achieve something... give it your all! Be it, create it, start today! The magic isn't in "faking it till you make it", it's actually making it and proving to yourself through small, consistent steps that you're the kind of person who makes REAL progress towards your goals and dreams. The Main Takeaway & Reflection: Life is a fine art of leaving the things that don't serve you and staying committed to the things that do. Some things deserve to be left behind. Some things deserve your daily commitment, one small step at a time.
