  • Overcoming challenges: Painted a very clear picture about what I wanted to achieve and everything that I do relates back to those core goals and values. When making a decision or working out how to overcome an obstacle I just ask myself the question, “Is this a match for my values and is this going to help me get closer to my goals?”. Also, learning to say “next”. You only have a certain amount of energy each day. You can use this energy to stay stressing about challenges or you can use this energy to work out a solution and use the challenge as an opportunity to grow. I prefer the second alternative.
