January: Book Club (The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown)
You can choose to let go of yourself to live a “fake life” for others, or you can embrace who you are and own your life story. You’ll love life, others, and yourself better when you’re authentic.
Live wholeheartedly by switching your mindset from trying to be perfect and identifying yourself with what other’s think, to feeling “I am enough” no matter what happens today. You’ll be more courageous, compassionate, and connected this way. And wholehearted living is a never-ending process, not a milestone.
Strive to DIG deep, especially when you’re tired and stressed by being:
- Deliberate – Be intentional in what you think and do.
- Inspired – Get yourself in the right emotional and mental place to feel like yourself.
- Going – Take action, whether that’s to rest or work harder—just do it.
