Chapter 1

PREPARE YOURSELF FOR GROWTH

You probably don’t remember being born into this world, but I want you to picture yourself as a baby right now. Just a tiny baby, lying around with a happy face – or crying sometimes.

As a baby, you didn’t really do anything – and yet, when you think about this tiny creature, you’ll probably agree that the act of getting all these cells together, growing in a belly filled with liquid, entering the world as a human surrounded by air, being able to adapt to these circumstances, being able to breathe and survive in this new environment, has to be one of the most stunning things you can imagine, right?

So, we both agree: the fact that YOU entered this world and made it this far is a miracle, right?

And why would that fact have changed over the years?

‘Cause you haven’t done everything you put on your To-Do list yet? ‘Cause you haven’t achieved your career goals yet? ‘Cause you aren’t running a 7-figure business, yet? ‘Cause you haven’t had the perfect relationship yet? ‘Cause you haven’t traveled the world yet? ‘Cause you haven’t figured it out all yet?

Just ‘cause you’re not the person who runs half-marathons before breakfast, bakes gluten-free sourdough every weekend, decorates a Pinterest-worthy apartment, runs a side business, hosts perfect dinner parties, rescues stray dogs, speaks three languages fluently, meditates daily and has a drama-free love story – all at the same time – doesn’t mean you’re not a miracle.

It just means you’re human!

There’s a time for everything in life – but not all the good stuff needs to happen at once, right?

You, my dear, are living proof that when good vibes come together
