You have 5 seconds to make life happen.  In this episode I talk about lessons from Mel Robbins:  But this is what I’ve found: Knowing what to do will never be enough. Knowing why you need to do it will never be enough. So what we need is something that’s going to launch us into a state of action. Because if you’re sitting around waiting for motivation, I’m here to tell you it’s not coming. And this next quote hit me like a ton of bricks. "If you don’t start doing the things you don’t feel like doing, you will wake up one year from today and be in exactly the same place."
