I get so excited about taking on a good challenge! I got to witness yesterday how good someone can feel when they take on something challenging- when they do it! What comes afterward is an unmatched feeling of goodness toward yourself. Feeling proud of yourself. When was the last time you felt proud of yourself? … Continued
Today as I was coaching several of my great clients a word popped into my head- fortitude. I started thinking about how some people have strong fortitude- which stems from strength of mind- some have it situationally and some are undeveloped in this area and anywhere in between.
