A few years ago, I suffered deeply. I resisted everything about my life: where I lived, my work, and most agonizing of all, myself. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I blamed myself for not reaching the level of success I’d imagined, not living where I thought I would live, not having the life […]

Believing in our ability to transcend our circumstances and find peace in hearts regardless of them is the first step to accept the things you cannot change.
