Well, whenever you feel you can't... take a listen! :)…

You know what you feel, but you know what you need to do. Now, you feel like you have to fight between what you feel vs what you HAVE to do. Intuition and necessity goes hand in hand to me.

Listen... it's been a whole journey. I wish life didn't diminish and shift us from what makes us feel the most alive! Life has a tendency to drown out that small voice that tells us what WE need.

Whew! Pivital moments have shifted me to look at time. Time is fleeting, so why are we so comfortable in thinking we have it? We don't know what kind of time we have. We have dreams and goals, but if we're always putting it off and procrastinating... we'll NEVER accomplish them. Just a discussion. Just something to make you think. https://markooo.c…
