Most people don't realize it, but they're living a traced life.Following expectations.Copying assumptions.Spending their Most Valuable Resources on goals they never intentionally chose.In this episode of LifeBlood, George Grombacher explores the difference between learning from others and simply tracing their lives. Inspired by a scene from Chasing Amy, this episode is about personal agency, creativity, imagination, and reclaiming authorship of your own story.You'll learn why success leaves clues, why imagination isn't childish, how to identify what needs to be drawn into your life and erased from it, and how one small gateway action can begin meaningful change.Because your life isn't a coloring book.It's a blank page.And eventually, you have to stop tracing and start drawing.Want to say “Thanks!” You can buy us a cup of coffee.https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lifebloodGeorge’s newest book is available!
