Status Updates From The Burning Ground: One Wom...

When you talk to me about your Plan A, you look like you want to die. You’re miserable, your energy is low, and you’re dragging, as if it’s a chore, which defeats the point of what you were looking to do. When you talk about Plan B? Your energy completely changes. You light up: I’ve never seen you so excited about anything before. You need to pay attention to that. Plan B is the direction you want to go in.

For the first time, I was awakening to the possibility that I wasn’t a victim of life. I was in charge of my own destiny. … No more self-pity, no more waiting. I didn’t need a perfect plan, just the next step. My focus was clear. As long as I kept moving with the intention of changing my life for the better, good things would happen sooner or later.
