As we prepare to welcome a new year (and this year, a whole new decade), its time for me to look back on some of the things that I’ve learned along my way. Some of these things might resonate with you, others you will dismiss and that’s totally fine. My journey is different than yours…so it should be.
Just don’t be a stick that’s stuck in the mud. Stir up your own waters and challenge yourself to grow. With any luck you’ll always be a better person than you were the day before.
