It was exhilarating. Self-reflection is more than just setting goals and working toward them.  Don’t get me wrong, goals are incredibly important.  Self-reflection informs us about what goals to set.

When you live in congruence with your values, your beliefs and your service, having “it all" becomes clear.  It won’t be easy, but it will be simple.  Your courage will fill your sails and one small, daily step after another, you can and you will have “it all.” 

Life is not crisp and clean. It’s not neatly tucked corners and beautifully fluffed pillows.  Life is messy, like the day after I’ve crawled out of that well-made bed, sheets rumpled and askew from an active night dreaming.  The value is in intention. There is value in knowing where you’re going and why, even when the path to get there is full of wrinkles. There is value in starting with intention. There is value in simply starting.
