Other Things
Bite-sized updates from Kathryn Valencia.
WAITING
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? Well ... Contemplating, Resting, Listening, Observing, Deciding, Thinking ... Not Waiting. Waiting implies wasting and it's anything but; it implies lack of control of a situation. Our inner dialogue is key. Language packs a heavy punch....
CHANGE
The Only Constant Is Change. Cute saying but nope. Not Change. "I need to change," is a misleading statement. This is the language we use to define ourselves ... but we don't change. We don't change who we are ... We Grow. All those traits, those inborn...
