What has been your biggest learning in the past year?

​ Don’t be afraid to reach out for help.

Your biggest learnings in life often come from your mistakes and failures.

You may have lived X number of years of your life, but do you really know yourself?
Take time to learn who you REALLY are. What makes you tick, what you like and dislike. How you come across, what your passions are. Who you want to be and what your goals are.
Do it regularly, see the progress you make, see the goals you meet, see how your life changes once you fully know who you are.

What are some resources that have had the biggest impact on you?

Unleash the Power Within with Tony Robbins 
A Subtle Art of not giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
