Standing at the Crossroads of Who You Are and Who You're Becoming
Recently I found myself staring at the calendar. With almost half the year already behind us, I felt that familiar tug—the one that asks, "Where is this year going, and what do I have to show for it?"
Perhaps you've felt it too—that subtle weight of unfulfilled intentions, that nagging sense of time slipping through your fingers while burnout slowly creeps in. The truth is, most of us move through our days reacting to life rather than intentionally creating it.

The Mountain You Climbed: Transforming Challenge into Wisdom
Remember your greatest challenge from the past year—that moment when the path seemed steepest. What wisdom did the climb carve into your soul?
This question alone has helped countless people in our community transform their relationship with difficulty. Instead of seeing challenges as obstacles to happiness, they become the very soil from which purpose and meaning grow.
One community member described it this way: "I realized my burnout wasn't coming from having too much to do, but from forgetting why I was doing it in the first place."
The research supports this insight. Studies show that perceived meaning significantly reduces burnout symptoms, even when workload remains unchanged. By reframing your challenges through the Mirror Moment practice, you transform your relationship to stress itself.
Your Next Chapter: The Workshop of Tomorrow
The second part of the Mirror Moment practice invites you to step into the workshop of tomorrow. Here, you become both the sculptor and the clay—consciously shaping your next 90 days through four powerful questions:
- What to carve away (Do less of...)
- What to enhance (Do more of...)
- What to remove entirely (Stop doing...)
- What to create anew (Start doing...)
These questions create the architecture for sustainable energy and purpose. They ensure that each day moves you toward fulfillment rather than depletion.
Remember: This isn't just planning—it's prophecy. Every word you write is a seed planted in tomorrow's garden. What will you grow?
