Last week we talked about not letting your intent diminish and how the longer we wait to do something we know we should do, the less likely we are to actually follow through.

This week’s leadership tip is a little different.

Have you ever found yourself rushing through a season of life, wishing time would speed up so you could finally get to the “good part”? Or maybe you’ve been so distracted by what’s next that you forgot to notice what’s right in front of you.

In this short episode, Desiree shares two pieces of advice that seem to conflict with each other:
be where your feet are planted… and look to the horizon.

Through stories about childhood, growth, grief, walks down gravel roads, and the reminder to occasionally look up from the noise around us, this episode explores the tension between being fully present and still dreaming about what’s ahead.

By the time you finish listening, you’ll discover:

• Why different moments in life require different mindsets
• How constantly focusing on “what’s next” can cause you to miss your current season
• The importance of slowing down long enough to look up and see the bigger picture
