Welcome to another short but empowering episode of Monday Motivation, giving you a dose of inspiration as you head into your week.
Today, we explore the powerful and slightly uncomfortable reminder from John D. Rockefeller about releasing 'comfortable' in order to create something truly meaningful:
“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”
Three key takeaways you can expect:
How to recognise the areas of your life where you may be settling for good instead of what truly lights you up
How to reconnect with your own definition of great without pressure or comparison
How small, courageous steps can gently move you toward your dream life
Listen in and reconnect with the part of you that knows you are meant for a life that feels aligned, fulfilling and deeply yours.
