Do One Thing a Day That Sucks

I can’t take credit for all of the thoughts and lessons behind my posts. I’m constantly drawing inspiration from so many different sources – books, podcasts, public figures, the list goes on. One of the biggest influences in my life is my boyfriend. I’m a fairly private person and don’t usually discuss this side of my life on the blog – but I would be leaving out a huge part of my life by not mentioning him and the role he has played in my life. Beyond his constant support in my own journey, he serves as one of my greatest sources of inspiration (it helps that he has been doing that for a living for over a decade). He’s constantly pushing me to be the best version of myself and always has the best advice and words of wisdom.

The latest nugget of wisdom I’ve taken from him is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. He recently interviewed Jesse Itzler for his podcast (I am SO excited to hear this episode) – and he shared something Jesse said. “Do something that sucks” every day. I thought about this a lot over the weekend – at first you might think why would I ever want to do something that sucks? But it’s really in the same vein as “do something that scares you every day” and pushing your personal limits and boundaries to do things that may seem impossible. After all, we don’t grow and get better unless we go through the struggle of learning. It was a much needed reminder to embrace change.

How have you challenged yourself and pushed your boundaries lately? xx
