Stoicism

A goal without obstacles would either teach us nothing or not be worthy of our efforts.

Bringing awareness to what could have happened helps us see that, relatively, what did happen isn't all that bad.

Here's to seeing what we're in control of, letting go of the bad we can't control, and creating good days as often as possible.

Not only need we not suffer in the "bad" that happens, but we can use it to create positive change to pave a hopeful road, for ourselves and others.

When what we can control narrows further, we must go deeper and bring a higher level of consistency to that which helps us to show up at our best. Both for ourselves and our loved ones.
