Sour stays sour. 

Bitter stays bitter. 

Unless you change the foundational structure of the ingredients, the results are always the same. 

That is why changing your mindset to one of gratitude and of forgiveness and of trust and of kindness and of hope and of growth is key to restructuring your life. 

The path forward is never completely known. But, if you can see around the corner, step into the darkness, walk a little bit into the unknown, more and more of the path becomes clear, which allows to keep going, to keep growing. 

Keeping track of all you have accomplished gives you the fuel to keep going. 

Bitterness is one way we deny ourselves the ability to heal by avoiding emotions. When the pain and missed expectations surpass our ability to cope, we rely on bitterness to numb our feelings. Once we know we are bitter, the remedy is to lean into why we are bitter and choose the opposite. 

Sometimes, the most devastating sabotage comes from the nicest people. 

Niceness does not equal kindness. 

If you don’t know them,

you can’t lead them. 

We don’t find our purpose, we create it. 

Everyday, through our thoughts, choices, and actions we live our purpose. 

Rest heals. 

Resting from our internal struggles allows our emotions to heal. 

Resting from our self-inflicted shame allows our hearts to heal. 

Resting from our physical labors allows our bodies to heal. 

Resting from outside noise allows our minds to heal. 

The Lord and Savior is where we can find all the rest we need. 

Life really begins once your are willing to let go of what you thought life was supposed to be so you can embrace what life is, should, and could be. Letting go of wrong ideas allows us to hold on to correct ones. 

Those who can make decisions quickly are able to adapt and overcome. 

Delaying a choice always delays our ability to succeed.
