Dear readers,

When there is so much to do and not enough hours in a day, how do you keep sh*t from hitting the fan? Life can be a whirlwind, and some days you just have to be grateful that your head is attached to your shoulders, or you might just lose it. It is an uphill battle to fight that inner demon that keeps you from getting it all done. The key to staying in the eye of the hurricane is finding a grounding point.

Every action is like an electric charge, and how we react to the stimulus put in our path is the determining factor for success. “There’s nothing as unstoppable as a freight train full of f*ck-yeah. If you’ve ever known what it’s like to be in your groove, and are having trouble finding your way right now, think back to your attitude and what your priorities were when you were totally lit up about life, and use them to help give you the clarity and the kick in the rear end you need now.” 

― Jen Sincero

The toughest critic one will ever encounter is themselves; mindsets impact how we approach the tasks that appear on our radars. No one’s life is a smooth sea, and the only aspect you can control is your action and reaction to the situation presented. The world is not always rainbows and unicorns, but there is a silver lining behind every cloud. Even when your to-do list is longer than the Constitution itself, remember that sanity comes from remembering that, at the end of the day, it is all just work. We must recognize that time is a construct, and there is plenty of it.

The reality that one desires exists in the present moment, the only thing holding us back from achieving the goals we set for ourselves is a combination of fear of what other people will think and the death grip of the comfort zone. In the same way, it takes money to make money, work must be done to get the appropriate results. No matter how many hurdles appear in your path, there is always a way to reach the finish line.

Keeping cool, calm, and collected will open the door to opportunity. By putting out positive energy, the universe can respond accordingly. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, so with that in mind, allow yourself the chance to open your mind and heart to the possibilities that await you.
