Let's figure this out together
Take the example of someone who quits their job; to start a business, to pursue a passion project, or go on an adventure, it’s the same thing. All this stems from a deep point of conviction and a great deal of faith. I continuously have to remind myself of the power of our faith and how it is often taken for granted.

If you are like me, what is that thing you have been putting off and giving yourself 1000 excuses not doing it in that moment when deep within you know you should? You have all the resources at your disposal but you still cannot do it? Is it reading a book, writing a book, starting a blog like me, getting a new hobby, learning a new language?
