Intro

When was the last time you just paused and took some time to look into your inner world?

I just recently had my golden birthday, and as a way of celebrating it, I decided to reflect on some of the events that happened in my life, and take some time to be grateful for them.

In the process, I was able to come up with some self-reflection questions that you and I can go back to whenever we need a little bit of encouragement and guidance in our everyday lives.

I hope that these lessons and questions that I’ll be sharing with you in this episode cay help you in your journey to living a life that you’ll truly be proud of.

Quotes

“So this time away from people has really allowed me to see that a life well-lived is a life where you’re focused on doing what you want to do, instead of focusing on what everyone else thinks about what you’re doing.”  [08:19]

“For many people like me who didn’t learn that building community doesn’t just happen because you’re popular or because you’re at the right place at the right time, it’s a skill you have to develop and practice.”  [11:25]

“No matter how advanced we get, we need human connection. Not only was [being quarantined] a reminder that community is essential, I learned that building it is a skill that you have to invest in.”  [11:35]

“Pain isn’t bad; it’s just telling you that something is making you uncomfortable, and there are healthy ways to express dissatisfaction, disappointment, and sadness.”  [11:56]
