Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.
Remember, life is a journey. If you got everything you wanted all at once there’d be no point to living. Enjoy the ride, and in the end you’ll see these “setbacks” as giant leaps forward, only you couldn’t see the bigger picture in the moment. Remain calm, all is within reach; all you have to do is show up every day, stay true to your path and you will surely find the treasure you seek.

“He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose minds is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

- Thomas Jefferson

“The bottom line is this: thoughts come and go, relationships come and go, pain comes and goes. I’ve discovered that clinging to my stories about what I think I want and need is a surefire recipe for suffering. Today I’ve come to a place of real peacefulness, of letting go and accepting things as being just what they are and nothing more.”

- Marci Shimoff from her book “Happy for No Reason”.
