Surround Yourself With The People Who Matter Most

A few weeks ago I was just back from vacation and struggling to serve everyone around me. I was juggling work, home, hobbies and trying so hard to get through a great book. And I made mistakes.

I see so many of us do it and I see it in myself. We look at our bodies, souls and spirits in the mirror of our strongest and fiercest critic.
