This book 📖 by Chip Gaines has a great perspective for the new year - and for anyone who’s an entrepreneur or an author. This book I bought for a gift, and ended up reading myself, has really set the bar for my thought life and approach to personal and writing goals and dreams. . 📚📚 Favorite quotes: About failure: “We spend our time focusing on what might go wrong…” he really helped articulate how to remain open to possibility and free from fear and how, “Swaddling ourselves up in our security blankets completely restricts our ability to take courageously bold steps.” .📚📚 About possessions: I love how he describes his wife, Joanna, becoming "an expert at finding unique ways to fill homes with meaning instead of just stuff.” After losing every possession in a wildfire years ago, we’re trying to continue to cull what we own or replace things with meaningful items that lift our spirits or are useful, and get rid of excess. It’s a process I have to begin again each time we move, and will be a big focus this year. .📖📖 About belief and surrounding yourself with can-do people: “When something seems insurmountable to most, we shrug, because we eat ‘insurmountable’ for lunch.” Oh how I loved this thought. What you focus on you give power to. Can’t recommend it enough. Plus I love the references to Waco since I went to #Baylor university too. ♥️♥️ #capitalgaines https://www.instagram.com/p/BsbyQjZF4Vr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=b78fo78hqwv6
