Over the past month I’ve found myself thinking about what could have been.
Being perfectly honest, It’s been eating me up.
I call this a trapped mindset.
Any time I’ve found myself thinking about the ‘what if’s’ or the ‘what could have been’ or even worse, ‘if I did this, then my life would be at this point’. No matter the way you frame it, it’s a trap.

To many, success is a unique experience.
Success in the workplace, with our peers and colleagues, means something different between you and I.
