There is a proverb “if there is no enemy within the enemy outside, can do us no harm”. That speaks to ourselves often being our own, worst enemy and harshest critic. In times when we struggle with this, with our perfectionism that has never resulted in perfection, we can be tempted to wage a war…

When given a choice, chase what is valuable. Not what’s hard. Not what’s easy. What’s valuable. Often times the best path is one of minimal friction leading towards value.

This week’s focus is posture. It’s related to Energy Awareness. When you sit and stand tall, people can feel it. Don’t hunch through life. Also be aware of your posture towards others.
