To find your Purpose means to develop an overarching sense of what’s meaningful to you in your life. It’s drawing that line to clearly define the difference between Surviving and Thriving for YOU.

As strange as it might sound, us humans are prone to avoid setting goals or ambitions for ourselves. We’ll do this by keeping ourselves comfortably stuck in a place where we’re unhappy. But here is what you can do about it.
One of the most important aspects of creating changes in our life and living into our ambitions is to have a clear vision of where we want to go. Here’s an exercise I like to offer my clients to help them do exactly that.
Getting clear on our goals in life might seem like a relatively simple thing to ask of ourselves, yet the reality is much more complicated. What does it take to make solid, purposeful goals? Why is it important?

This year I did something I’ve never done before. I made a “Five Year Plan.” The plan I made for myself was scary and ambitious, but also after doing the numbers I feel really good about the plan. I’m inspired and looking forward to the challenge. I share exactly how I did it in the post.

One of the interesting things about gratitude is just how loaded a topic it is for some of us. It’s often coupled with feelings of guilt, unworthiness, or unrealistic expectations. Or that it’s all just a bunch of woo-woo nonsense.
In this post I compiled some different gratitude journal prompts, but I curated these with an eye towards understanding some of the challenges we have with the idea. I hope this helps!
Before I got serious about creating a gratitude practice for myself I used to worry that it would take away my edge, cause me to ignore my challenges, and gloss over injustices in the world. I found the reality to be the opposite case.
