I had a discussion with a good friend the other day about how we’re growing up in a generation without a core.

Where being friends to all but friends to none is becoming the norm.

Where we try so hard to accomplish everything that we accomplish nothing.

They say change happens when you push the boundaries and that the only place for change is at the edges. That is more than true.

But it’s just as important to pause.

Breathe.

Take a good look at where we started and where we’re going.

Are we staying true, genuine, grounded?

Take a moment to write down the 5 people and the 5 things or activities in your life that matter the most. Can you name 5 of each? Are you giving them the time, energy and love that they deserve?

If the answer is no, change something.

Because meaningful growth can’t be sustained without roots.
