Whether big choices, or small choices, we are choosing our lives. Choosing the food we eat, what we drink, our activities, our friends, our jobs, our relationships, the words we say, the thoughts we think. All of it. We are choosing our life. 

Through all of this, let's stick with hope.

It is in our authenticity that we are able to truly connect with others to build something greater than ourselves.

It can be easy to think we don't have enough, especially when we're comparing our lives to a slew of others, many of whom we don't even know…

As we love ourselves where we're at, we must love others where they're at…

If you're feeling hesitance or fear around something you've got to do, or somewhere you've got to be, remind yourself that you can do this. Let go of whatever outcome you're expecting, or trying to predict, and just get in there.

We have to wait. Time knows what it's doing.

These days it's easy to get caught up in thinking we aren't enough, we're not doing enough, and all the "shoulds," and "coulds" that infiltrate our mind don't particularly help.

Maybe growth looks like speaking up for yourself, setting boundaries, having the hard conversations, having the light-hearted conversations, exploring, or being still.

Life will test us. It has to - how else will we grow? How else will you know that you are capable of handling a lot more than you think?
