Picking Priorities
Ep. 83
•
Don’t wait for a scary diagnosis or life altering event to change your life to the way you want it.
My priority became love flooding when I was diagnosed with cancer—because everyone flooded me with love, and it changed my life.
Since it’s true that everyone is dying, we just don’t know when, instead of spending so much time putting out fires with our kids, spend some time finding out what each person really, deeply wants for their lives and help them get it.
Ask these simple questions to help you make the changes you want to in your life—and don’t wait for the fire! Blossom yourself and your kids now!
