I want you to pull out a pen and notebook for this episode, take notes and carve out some time for reflection.   Below are some key insights and learnings from today\u2019s episode: Your power is in the present. Recognizing this is how we can have some impact and influence over our future circumstances and results.   How to avoid falling into what I call the \u201cBang Fizzle Pitfall\u201d- entering into a commitment with excitement for it only peter out and come to an end.   How to recognize when personal development and improvement becomes unhealthy What it means to be in a state of expansion and how this can we can get a wider perspective on all options you have available as you progress towards a desired outcome. Why it\u2019s important to take into account the season of life you are within as that can impact how you go about progressing towards your goals.    This is an important topic we are covering on today's episode.  Please listen, subscribe, and share the episode with folks who will benefit from this topic.   Naomi, The OutSpoken Girlfriend\u00ae _________________________________________________ Sign up to get More Money, More Power, an email I send a few times a month.
