REFLECTION QUESTION

Imagine a time when you were a beginner at something. How did giving yourself permission to start fresh impact your growth and self-discovery? What lessons can you apply from that experience to other areas of your life?

“There's so much opportunity and so much possibility when you're a beginner. To me, that's where the magic is. I want to be a beginner. I don't want to be the smartest person in the room. I want to be surrounded by people that are ahead of me and that make me feel like I have things to learn because it pushes me to learn, and it opens me up to bigger things for myself.” - Jordan Tarver

“The reason I'm proud to say 224 days is because that's 224 days of momentum I've sustained in my life and decided that I don't want to give it up. If we can feel good in life and we can sustain feeling good in life, we can overcome anything. We can create anything, we can build anything, we can do anything, we can become whoever we want to become when we feel good. And so if that's the thing that makes me not feel good, that's always going to be a factor in the decision is, ‘do I want to give up this momentum? Do I want to give up this creative flow? Do I want to give up this joy and radiating aura that I have because of this thing?’ And usually the answer is going to be no.” - Jordan Tarver
