Is it ever ok to compare ourselves? (Even to teens?) When you’re focused on a goal, pouring effort and energy into getting somewhere, it’s easy to feel… inadequate. To begin comparing yourself when things don’t come quick enough. Like to a 16 year old on Tik Tok who has way less experience than you, yet talks to 1.7 million people …

You’ve got 2 types of learners: Passive and Active Passive learners prefer to absorb information, attend seminars, read books and learn tools they may – or may not – use. Pure knowledge is the goal.

You have any skeletons in the closet?​ I do. (And not the dancing buns-out in the bedroom on a Sunday kind.)
