Project Roots and Wings building a bridge between who you are and who you are  BECOMING!   "I can be grateful for my experiences, or I can be worse off because of my experiences and let my experiences be the driver of my life rather than me being the driver of my own experience, and so I don't think that there's any experience you can have that you can't be better off without if you choose to contextualize them in a way that benefits you and makes you better."  Dr. Benjamin Hardy   Today Scott jumps back in to the podcast after choosing to take care of his soul.  Today Scott shares about the slump he hit after learning some things about the story he had been telling himself for the last thirty years.  This is a long time coming.  It is a bit confessional.  Scott provides some context as to why when people have big gains can sometimes self-sabotage.  The inner monologue we are having with ourselves needs to change so that we can overcome and grow into the next iteration of ourselves.   Our Mission: We help you DISCOVER Guiding Life Principles, IMPLEMENT a Vision that empowers you to ACHIEVE Optimal Performance  and CREATE a life that is Flourishing.   This mission is a driving force that runs throughout our coaching and mentoring here at Project Roots and Wings.    We believe Discovering the road to a life that is thriving Is a journey worth taking.  We help you build the bridge between who you are and who you are BECOMING!   Resources:   The Gap and The Gain: The High Achievers' Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success   Interested in learning more about coaching with us email Scott at: [email protected] or go to : www.projectrootsandwings.com
