How I learned to let go of career barriers and burdens

I was digging through my backpack a couple of weeks ago looking for a snack, and I came across the finishers’ medal from a Spartan race I had run…in October. Without realizing it, I had been carrying that medal around everywhere I went for the past two months. To work and back every day. Through numerous airports (surprisingly without ever getting flagged at TSA), and across over 10,000 miles of travel. It’s a pretty big medal and weighs over a pound, so definitely enough to be a burden.
