Promoting Passion Week 45: Create Your Dream

Comments 31 comments

I’ve had a rather crazy schedule this fall season, mostly because of travel and a few deadlines that were wearing on me. Starting in September I traveled to Utah, Nebraska, Washington, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and New York. I wouldn’t trade a single one of those moments for anything.

Dealing with Disappointment

Comments 32 comments

If I had to share one of my biggest weaknesses, it would without a doubt be how I deal with disappointment. I hold myself to extremely high standards, something that a lot of people do, and when I don’t meet those standards, I feel the effects tremendously.

Promoting Passion Week 37: Person, Place, Thing

Comments 14 comments

When I think about following my passion in life, it all comes down to three categories through which I can understand the decision I’ve made: People, Places, and Things. The people I’ve met have shaped how I see the world and what opportunities come my way; the places I’ve been have shown me new opportunity and perspective; and the things I’ve invested in have helped to push me into a career I love. Within the confines of these three categories I…
