Every day, our choices define the direction our life heads in. Understanding whether you are pursuing your ultimate dreams, or just accepting opportunities to avoid confronting the scary truths, is powerful.
Decision-making may not always feel good. However, looking within to determine your mindset may provide some clarity and help you with your tough choices. Are you coming from a place of growth and running towards your dreams? Are you coming from a place of fear and running away from opportunities that may bring you joy and abundance?
How do I know which way I’m running?
