If you don't write your book, life will go on. You'll keep building. You'll keep showing up. But you'll also keep wondering: "What if I had said yes" to the opportunity to be a published author?

Blessed are the risk takers...who wants to be ordinary? Not the life-winner who has a big vision. Don’t get me wrong; there’s nothing terrible about being normal if that’s what you want. But if you have big dreams, big ideas, and aspirations to do something great in this world, then ordinary is not enough for you.

I'd say forgive and forgive and forgive. I'd also say, don't hold on when it's time to let go.

"Your pain may not be your fault, but it's your responsibility to HEAL!" - Taneka Rubin

My encouragement to you is to change the way you think. Change the words you choose to speak. You’ll then see change in the life you live. Trust me, our actions line up with what we think.

I believe that as we live our lives, we inadvertently become the product of our environment, situations, and circumstances. That is, we behave in a certain manner that is the result of what we experience or based on our interpretation of what we experience.

…you can return to the core essence of who you were designed to be by your Heavenly Father.
