Today I’m sharing one of my most transformative beliefs, "I’m exactly where I should be". Imagine believing that in the midst of failure, you’re exactly where you should be.

This thought is available to you all of the time and you can find evidence for how this thought is true about every single situation in your life. In today’s episode I am walking you through 3 scenarios in life where thinking this thought can powerfully shift how you feel and respond.
