Struggle.

I struggle sometimes.

Like, really struggle: mentally, physically, emotionally.

Sometimes, I’m overwhelmed and have to constantly decide what can wait and what cannot wait.

Sometimes, I’m over-scheduled and over-socialed, in a way that makes sleep feel like my only relief.

What gets me through?

Looking at the journey.

It's a long one--a marathon, not a sprint.

But, the journey is full of opportunities.

Opportunities I’ve waited for and worked toward for a very long time.

That perspective helps me know that calm and clarity will eventually return.

It helps me remember the cycles and ebbs and flows.

I know I have people in my corner and tools in my pocket to help me make the most of the journey--the highs and the lows.

If you’re struggling: you’re not alone. I'm there often myself.

We got this.
