I call myself now a recovering overachiever. I still achieve a lot, but I'm, like, recovering from the toxic side of overachievement. You know, where when you set goals and then you just charter towards them, and it's almost like tunnel vision, and then you have no life. Right? As I was doing my own evolution for myself and figuring out who do I really want to be in this world and, like, what is the impact I want to have and how do I want to show up in it, I realized if I did not have the discipline around my actions every day and around the intentions I have towards whatever that target I call it, your ultimate vision is for your life, your business, your relationships, all the areas, right? Like, then it's really hard to know what action to take. And all of a sudden, you're becoming the sponge of absorbing information that doesn't really appreciate.
