Restart and Reboot

Each day, hell, each moment, is an opportunity to completely restart and reboot. Life happens, it's happening right now and unfortunately it is all too often taken advantage off. Typically far too much time is spent worrying about the unknown or inevitable, or being caught up in what happened. In these situations there are two choices: to define our moments or be defined by our moments. Just as life happens, roadblocks and derailments happen. Grief, sadness, anger, fear, etc. are all perfectly normal emotions to experience when going through these trying times, what isn't perfectly normal is to allow yourself to continue to be defined by these times. Use these negative moments to define yourself by who you ARE NOT. Use these moments as an excuse to reboot with new ideas, emotions and actions. Whether the moment is a petty argument or a major tragedy, each of these moments are opportunities to reassess what is working and what isn't, to not be held back by all that went "wrong" and instead to use it as to cultivate more of what is "right."

Trust that you are a magnificent person, and you are doing a magnificent job of living.
Remember that you are not negativity, it is just something you are experiencing
Live with the courage to be truly YOU, there is strength and security there.
