2 IDEAS FROM ME: 

1.

"Feeling challenged in life leads to a stronger sense of worth and purpose, which leads to life satisfaction. Don't shy away from challenges; rather, embrace them."  

------------------

2.

"Carve out time every day to have fun. Life is too short and unpredictable to not enjoy it at least for a little bit each day." 

 1 QUOTE FROM OTHERS: 

“High-functioning individuals get overlooked because they are ‘functioning’ so well on the surface. The thing about anxiety is that it can deeply impact people in a way that others can’t see. People who are considered ‘high functioning’ sometimes don’t feel like they have the time to seek treatment, or they think they are doing ‘ok’ … and other people reinforcing that they are ‘successful,’ even if they are struggling internally.” 

Dr. Theo Gallagher, discussing high profile celebrity Ryan Reynolds challenges with anxiety.

1 QUESTION TO CONSIDER: 

How do you determine success? Consider the markers you are looking at to determine if you are living a "successful" life.   

Until next week,
