I'M AN ORIGINAL CATCHPHRASE

Nothing brings clarity more than a pause & reflect. It’s amazing how much “growth” intimidates those who refuse to tap into their own purpose. Then we find ourselves trying to confront incredible non-credible noise around us who aren’t even qualified to critique our purpose. Many who "love" and/or “want the best” for us, have desires and expectations that are clouded by their own ability to fully see what we’ve been creating for our lives. Be more unapologetically accountable to your own purpose
