Why you should always focus on taking a step forward!

“One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to give up instead of what they have to gain” - Rick Godwin

This is a quote that really struck a chord with me throughout my professional life and I continue to use it every time I come to a fork in the road. It really defines the difference between being complacent versus being growth oriented.

Given all the uncertainty in the world today, I put together an article outlining my journey and I hope it may inspire one person to think differently and take a chance on something they want to do, no matter how big or small.

One more thing I think you’ll get out of this is summed up by the saying “your thoughts become your realities”...

If you think you can’t, you won’t...but if you think you can, you will.

A little cliche but sometimes people (and even myself) need to hear things like this on the weekends when you should keep grinding away at your work!

Have a great weekend!
