“What you do and what you want are constantly warring with one another.” –Dr. Kashey We all have times when what we want and what we actually do are not aligned. Said another way, we all have times when our behaviors don’t translate to moving us closer to our desired outcomes. When this happens, do…

Control What You Can Control
You can’t control everything that happens in your life, but you can control how you respond to it. Your response dictates the outcome.
