Quotes to ponder:
“Every day brings a choice: to practice stress or to practice peace.”
“When we release expectations and focus on enjoying every day and working our hardest on growth, not madly achieving our goals as quickly as possible, that’s ironically when we reach our goals faster, and with less stress, than ever.”
“The expectations I put on myself were crushing me, I thought I would be at a certain benchmark by a certain date, and I hoped I would be somewhere that I currently wasn’t in my business.”
