Have you come to an important intersection in your life? In this edition of Doing What Works, Katie and I want to inspire you to pause before you cross the street. Take time to reflect. Are you excited to get up in the morning and tear into another day? Do you love being with the people you’re with? Can you imagine looking back on a life filled with meaning? Don’t let anyone tell you it’s too late to give yourself a clean slate, to be a beginner, to surprise yourself with just how magnificent your life can be.
