011 - Everyone is a Mirror for You

This video took me a few tries to record, but that’s part of the process—just like life. I wanted to share my thoughts on patience, frustration, and how every interaction and challenge is a mirror for our own growth.

Spending time with my 21-month-old son over spring break made me reflect on how my expectations shape my emotions. Whether it's parenting, work, relationships, or personal goals, I've realized that frustration isn’t about others—it’s about me. We set expectations for how things should go, but life doesn’t always follow our plans.

Through experiences in business, managing people, and personal relationships, I’ve learned that setting boundaries and clear expectations is key. Whether it’s helping someone break out of self-sabotage, managing a team, or even just navigating daily frustrations, the focus should be on what we can control—our reactions, our patience, and our willingness to grow.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of frustration, this video might give you a new perspective. Let’s talk about it in the comments—how do you manage expectations and set boundaries in your own life?
