This is not a ‘how to’ guide for life planning or fulfilled living. I’m not sure I’d even read it myself if it claimed to be; why because life is subjective. No one is walking in your shoes but you. What these ‘10 truths’ are though, are reminders, quick check ins that provide thought provoking stopping points for you to interpret your own life direction, potentiality and current path. A way for you to align with your thoughts, self-doubts, fears and quite simply, the reality that life is what you think it to be.

Every single day we face challenges. Sometimes we let them get the best of us, sometimes we rise above them. Whether professionally or personally, we spend most of our days letting others challenge us but we should be challenging ourselves. Why does Karen in HR get to test our patience but we don’t? Why does hearing advice from your best friend ring more true than what you tell yourself? Why do we let other people cajole us into where we’re going when we should be the ones leading the way? Well most of us care too much about what other people think, even more so than what we think of ourselves. Putting the happiness of others ahead of our own is far too common. The best way to challenge that is to challenge ourselves. These 10 challenges will help you reflect, refocus and realign with the things that matter most to you.
