It takes great discipline to maintain faith, keep working in spite of not yet seeing results, and to practice honing and following your intuition.

Who do you turn to when you’re feeling stuck and not sure what next step to take? How do you recalculate a path that seems, as least in the moment, to be a bit like Ground Hog’s Day? Where do you look when the seas of your life are rocky? Who do you engage with when life is going great, and you want it to only get better?
