IT'S NOT ABOUT A FIVE-YEAR PLAN

There's a quote I heard the other day that shifted how I look at my life. 

Who do you want to be in five years? Are you working towards that person? Frankly... I don't know who I'd like to be in five years or where I will be in five years. While I am a planner, I don't plan that far out in advance. 

That said, while I don't know where I'll be, I realized that the quote is right. It's not so much about a plan or saying "I will be this or that." It's about feeding yourself the good things and knowing they will shape you to be better and happier- both now and in the long run. 

So what are you reading? Who do you hang out with? What conversations do you engage in?
