Punch Above Your Weight

by Jill MacGregor

The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

A Very Different Mile High Club

I recently was flying home from the holidays and decided to play a little game with The Universe. Before I got on the plane I made this little request: Have the person sitting next to me teach me something—something about career, writing, relationships, life, myself. I’ve got 5 hours in 1st class and the liquor will flow—let’s make the most of it.

A Beginner’s Mind

Look at you with your capable self. The years have taught you quite a bit. You get it. At least, that’s how others look at it.

Splitting the Atom

“Tell me what you want.”
How often does someone ask you this? I bet it’s not very frequently. More importantly, how often do you ask yourself?
“Tell me what you want.”

The Search

Life is a personal quest that can set you on the path to slay dragons and monsters, find your holy grail or discover a way to float in the goodness of everything that surrounds you.

Known Quantities

People have an idea of who you are and what you’ll accomplish.
They’re not always right. Sometimes they miss the mark and coat you in a secret sauce of “not quite enough”.

In Your Heart, Are You A Champion?

We all have hopes and dreams—goals we’re working towards—projects we’re passionate about. These things light our fire, fuel us and often times become a part of our identity.

What If Santa Brought You What You Asked For?

Think of the list you’ve made for yourself over the years—all of the tangible and intangible things you feel would make you happy if only they were yours.
