Your freedom is decided by your Actions.

Anthem

Powerful question to consider - how are you prioritizing your time?

Freedom is Priceless..

Early Memorial Day thoughts. This holiday has so many meanings. For me though, it is remembering the absolutely tough last 5 years. Here is a brief synopsis. 1) Laid off in 2019 from a corporate job where I felt marginalized and overwhelmed. 2) Developed my positive and energetic personality (I was always an extrovert, but it never showed). 3) Took more risks than I should have in business. 4) Found the courage to leave my marriage. 5) Searched for meaning in life and in my relationships (hint: do not do this with relationships until you are centered). 6) Found my path and something I'm REALLY good at. I will never retire from this one. 7) Met someone who could be very special in my life. Trust me when you meet that person you WILL know. 8) Just had the most engaging training of my life which was an introduction to what will be a four year journey. 9) Now facing that my parents are still healthy but the decline even in the last 6 months was very noticeable. 10) Realizing that my current business stress was easy to relieve once I reached out to 3 or 4 people I have met through LinkedIn. They can be dispassionate about my plans and gave me great feedback. For me, Memorial Day this year is the memories and the people that I have found in life. Happy Memorial Day to you all.
