​There are many days where I don’t feel like working but I need to just push through it. This, like running is the only way I’m going to gain a better work ethic. It’s moments like this that are so uncomfortable for me and I just want to give up and go back to where I feel comfortable doing nothing. When I push through these moments it’s so liberating after!

One of the first things I had to do for part of my mentorship was read this book called Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod. It talks about the success we can have by waking up early and starting our day in a productive way rather than mediocre. In this book Hal mentions how he started running in the morning but hated it! He then eventually pushed through it and came to love it and ended up running several marathons.

I open up about things that are very personal to me. I never would have opened up like this in the past about my feelings but I’m doing this to break out of my comfort zone and conquer my fear. I used to want everyone to think that my life was perfect and that I had everything put together. That was clearly a false notion. Since I’ve been opening up about my insecurities and weaknesses, I feel this huge mountain lifted off of me.
