take a chance on what you love


“You can fail at what you don't want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.”
-Jim Carrey

We find comfort in failing within a system we’ve been told will take care of us. Yet, we fear failing outside the system, pursuing what is calling us.

Don’t focus on what failure in either option looks like; think about what success in both options looks like.

We default to failure, but success is more likely, especially if you choose the path of your Authentic Life.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

I’ve always appreciated the flexibility to call an audible in the middle of the day to work from home or spend a little more time with the boys if there was nothing on my calendar. For example, instead of doing some compliance work in the middle of the day, I could head home to walk to the coffee shop with the boys. The compliance work...
