Henry David Thoreau wrote, “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined…”

I have spent years working through my own personal limiting beliefs, and not having much success. I felt unworthy of having the life that I wanted, and I felt lost and hopeless. I was educated, had skills, had good jobs, but the success I wanted in all areas of my life seemed out of my reach. Finally, after many years of feeling like a hamster on a wheel, I decided that how I was living wasn’t working for me, and I needed to change.
