It’s an excellent message for all of us to remember because maybe we’re in a position where light seems to be shining on us, or we’re chasing others who we think have light shining on them. We need to remember that the light is within us, so we don’t need to ever worry about losing it or needing to chase it—it’s already here. We just need to find it within and let it shine. JC |

Successful people think differently. They don’t waste energy asking, “Why is this happening to me?” They ask, “What can I do about it?” -Anonymous I saw this on IG the other day and wrote it down, but I didn’t write down the account that posted it, so I can’t at least attribute it to that account. If you find your Self dismissing this, my guess is your default is the “why”, which is probably the human mind’s default setting. Before dismissing it, I challenge you to give it a try next time...
This morning, I was listening to the latest Rich Roll podcast with Hellah Sidibe and Rich said something that stood out to me—it was something simple and common. “Life is hard.” Being a big believer that the words we choose matter and can quietly shape our reality—or maybe they quietly reveal our inner worlds, I cringed (not sure if that’s the right word, but I had a reaction) when I heard Rich say it. No doubt that life doesn’t always go smoothly, and there are times when we are tested. And...
