Words have the power to mold and shape our mindsets. Cynical...skeptical...these words greatly impact our mindsets; though similar in meaning, they impact our mindset very differently.

2020 was rough. We made it into 2021. Are we going to be the same people we were in 2020? Or are we going to rise up in 2021?

We all struggle with perfectionism at one time or another. There's an alternative to chasing the mirage of perfectionism.
