The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what we want most for what we want at the moment.

I can relate. Instant gratification always seems like a good idea until you realize that it wasn't. Being back in school is a challenge to me everyday. It makes me feel so uncomfortable to be in a place where I am not in control, meaning I just have to ride this out and I can't make it go faster and I can't go in and out. I am constantly challenged with my age and where I should be and why I should be and so on and so on. I know this ultimately is great for so many reasons, the obvious sure...education, achievement but I think even more important is commitment and perseverance and ultimately understanding and empathy for those that I will coach and support on their journeys to rediscover themselves. I really feel like I have been going through so much internal questioning about everything I do and wondering if its the right thing or if I should change course. It's louder than ever in my head and even more so now that I live in a place that supports the new path I have chosen. It's been so hard to write because I have felt so scattered and unsure. I forget that - that its probably the best time to write. When I write I feel strong and I remember who I am. thanks for listening
Today I am grateful for all of my great teachers, starting with my mom. I am blessed and have always been.
