“Often people
attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more
money, in order to do more of what they want so that they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You
must first be who you really are, then, do what
you need to do, in order to have what you want.”
Margaret Young
Quote from the book, “The Artist's Way” by Julia Cameron
Over the last
several years, I have really defined who I am personally and in business. Anyone that knows me can probably agree
I am an open book. (My face usually gives me away!) I prefer to be
direct but have compassion and truly enjoy helping people. I
know that I couldn’t do anything in business unless it was helping individuals
achieve their goals.

| Don't make me mad. I still make this face. |
When I changed my
career goals from “attaining a certain income level” to “focusing on helping
people,” I was able to achieve living a comfortable life and I am happy at the same time. I do work extra hard to fund my travel
habits but I don’t mind because I love what I do! Perspective of how you view your situation, job, or
relationship is really what shapes how we view our success and happiness.
Create your own
definition of both and do the work to get there.
Empires aren’t
built in a day.
