right now. And if you have the courage to admit that you’re a little scared, the ability to smile even as you cry, the nerve to ask for help when you need it, and the wisdom to take it when it’s offered, then you have everything you need at this moment.

The only thing stopping you is your mind and the thoughts you entertain. Take a deep breath and re-center yourself.

You’ve become a true master of your life when you learn how to master your focus. Value what you give your energy to. Focus your energy on what matters most -- the present.

Some things to remember while moving forward…

It’s truly powerful and beautiful when a person’s intentions are genuine.

Remember to do things for the right reasons, even when things don’t work out as planned. Your “why” must be bigger than the disappointments and challenges you face. As often as you can, remind yourself why! With a strong enough reason why, you’ll be able to do what’s required at any time and in any circumstance.

If somebody is working on themselves and changing for the better, it’s unnecessary to keep bringing up their past.

People can change and grow. Take this to heart, and show yourself the same courtesy too.

Oftentimes you don’t even realize that you’re blocking your own present

blessings by holding on to the past. Start letting go and be present now.

Calmness is a human superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.

It’s never too late to change your attitude about something you can’t change. Just decide to make the best of it. Take life day by day and be grateful for the little things.

Let go of all the purposeless drama, aimless time-wasters, and mental clutter that keeps getting in your way.

Take care of your mind and the way you speak to yourself. Don’t let negative self-talk defeat you. Talk like you are blessed. Walk like you are blessed. Think like you are blessed. Work like you are blessed. And you will be, one way or another.

The wrong choices can bring us to the right places. The biggest failures often carry the best lessons. When you fail to get what you want, consider that it just might be a blessing in disguise.

Seriously, be grateful that certain connections and situations didn’t work out. If you didn’t let go and learn, you would be stuck with false promises.

It’s funny how we outgrow what we once thought we couldn’t live without, and then we fall in love with what we didn’t even know we wanted.

Eventually you’ll end up where you need to be, doing the right things, alongside the right people.
