I think it’s pretty obvious that you’re making things way harder than they have to be. You know that, right? Things probably FEEL tough right now You probably FEEL like it’s so hard It’s also probably true that you FEEL scared Or overwhelmed Or unsure Or confused Or annoyed Or frustrated Or… OR! How about this instead – How about you just choose to not be any of those things or feel any of those feelings? What if you just decided it was gonna be EASY instead? What if you made a conscious decision that from here on out, whatever you choose to do – It’s going to be SO freakin’ EASY? Would that make you feel better? Do you think that would make you more productive? Do you think you’d get more done if the work felt easy? Do you think you’d make more money if making money felt easy?

We live in one of the most prestigious neighbourhoods in all of Toronto. Our neighbours are doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, high-end realtors, and dentists. I pay for my parents to travel with us and don’t flinch at the added expense. We often spend multiple weeks in Muskoka every summer (Muskoka is to Toronto what The Hamptons is to New York).
