079 | Moving Past The Opinions Of Others | Cheryl Nembhard

How do I disconnect my own desire for people’s approval?

 

Competition is a dangerous thing. When you are in the mode of competition, you are not thinking about self-development, you’re not thinking about working on you, or being your best self forward, you are in the catch-up and keep up. Cheryl Nembhard

 

In this conversation, Cheryl and I talk about what it’s like to move past the opinion of others in order to pursue our destiny. And, what that looks like on a practical level. Get your note pad out because school is in session and Cheryl is laying it all out.
