If you are having an off day, try focusing on something bigger than you. Not everything is in our control, and therefore not our fault. When you surrender to the inevitable forces around you, your Faith will be tested. Embarrassment can be a way to find love of self; tears can cleanse years of stored trauma; so-called failures can unveil your strength and perseverance.

Every day is a new chance to make even the smallest change in your reality. Adding a piece of fruit to your day; changing your routine; standing up against a hateful remark; treating yourself to a shopping spree. Sometimes the smallest changes can result in the biggest outcome. Do not underestimate the power of subtlety.

Everything I want in life, I create for myself.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

Just when people think they have you in a box, you become...unboxed.
