What’s holding you back?

Now that we’ve looked at what we want, it’s time to figure out why we’re not going for it. So today’s prompt is “What’s holding me back from my dreams?” This is, in many ways, similar to the questions of “What’s stopping me?” and “What am I afraid of?” You may have similar answers. ButContinue reading “What’s holding you back?”

What memories really inspire you?

After digging deep into the memories that really bother you, it’s time to take a look back at your accomplishments.
