HOW DO I FIGHT STRESS IN MY LIFE? Honestly for way too long… NOT VERY WELL. But there is a principle that my father In law shared with me a long time ago, that has really helped me and I’m hoping it will help you.
Have you ever thought about all the events that led up to this moment in your life? Like all the people or things that have shaped who you are? Or why you’re here? Well when people have asked me about my trip to Thailand in 2022, I actually said, if there was ever a reason or a purpose for my life, it was amplified and affirmed in Thailand. I know that is a bold statement to make, but all the people and all the events in my life up to this point, “have” indeed shaped me and positioned me to be where I am today. That is why I say this trip was more than just an adventure, it was life changing.
WHAT’S STOPPING YOU? That was my father in laws response to me when I told him what I wanted for my life. And I will be honest, I’ve never been more annoyed yet more intrigued by someone as I was in that moment. So, at the risk of doing the same to you, I’ll ask you…
WHAT’S STOPPING YOU?
I think it’s a great question to ask yourself as you step into 2023.
