Sharing Resources to Help You Grow Personally, Professionally & Financially

Sometimes it helps to get a little dose of encouragement—along with a good cup of coffee—to start the day. Today we discuss "Perspective."

Hopefully, the message below will help you get off to a great start for the week. Please feel free to forward the newsletter to others who you think would benefit from the content.

Sometimes… I Want Everything to Be Perfect

I’ll admit it openly — I like things organized, planned, aligned, and executed just right.

And when life doesn’t cooperate with my perfect timelines?

I used to spiral.

People would ask me, “So… how’s that going for you?”
Honestly? Not great.

What Changed?

I realized something important:

Perfection steals peace. Perspective restores it.

When I stopped obsessing over what was not going according to plan — and instead looked at the situation as something being placed FOR me, not AGAINST me — everything shifted.

Why Perspective Matters

Hard times don’t feel good. They stretch you.
They challenge your patience.
They push you emotionally.

But they also sharpen you.

They shape you into someone stronger, wiser, and more grounded.

Growth rarely shows up in comfort — it shows up in struggle.

That brings me to this week’s question:

• Are you looking at things from a broader perspective?

Thanks for sharing a bit of your time with me this Monday morning.

Have a great week!
