If you’re less than totally satisfied with your life, here are a few clues that might

that you have for the status quo?• What have you been resisting that keeps coming up?• Have you felt pulled towards something lately for
which you felt not prepared for?
Insight #8

powerful one embraces the challenge because of the respect she has for the work itself.
