EP382: Natalie Ruskin - Finding Your Why: The Metrics That Matter

“One of the biggest barriers I experience is my own
distractibility, my own attention and how I am focusing
it.” 
-Natalie Ruskin


What we show others on the outside, is often not aligned with how
we feel on the inside. There is real pressure to present a
certain way to be considered successful in business. But the
reality is, we all have different ways of working and being and
we all need help from time-to-time to understand what it is that
really matters to us.


This is a challenge when negative beliefs can be so addictive. We
sabotage ourselves so others don’t, or just to make the pressure
of doing things we don’t love, stop.


We will never feel at peace until our outer projection aligns
with our inner one. We have to stop seeking to show people we are
successful, and live being successful. When we bring awareness to
each moment in a non-judgmental way, we can see more clearly the
things that truly matter to us.
