Nothing changes if nothing changes. Complaining is easy, friend. Choosing intentional action is hard. It goes against our negativity bias. Where in your life are you complaining without doing something about it? You can CHOOSE happiness now.

And you don’t have to wait to be happy when

This started out as a “38 Things I’d Tell My Younger Self” blog. Then I remembered a recent conversation I had with my friend Jaime. You can’t go back to the old you. No matter how much you want it, she doesn’t exist anymore.

The lie I’ve been telling myself is that enjoying what I have isn’t “productive” and there’s always more I can be doing. How does one overcome this concept of not enough and always striving for more?
