Move forward when the path is unclear.

Believe when the possibility only exists in your head.

You're here because while it may be easier to watch life go by from the cheap seats, the risk, the sacrifice is worth being able to look back someday down the road and know that at least you had the courage to play the game.

It's how our minds interpret our experiences that create our realities.

And the reason this reminder is so important to me, the reason I don't believe we could ever hear it enough, is because keeping that understanding front and center in our lives tells us how powerful we are.

Sure, we often can't control the situation.

We all know that.

But we can always control what the situation means.

Every event is open to interpretation.

Yeah, sometimes it takes a while to get to the value, especially when our minds want to default to the negative or what's missing or what's lost.

But if you're willing to look, underneath every occurrence is exactly what you need.

And so take, for example, something we can all relate to, right?

Losing something that truly mattered, that we found meaningful, whether it was a person, a job, an activity, a physical impairment, right?

When asked, what does this change mean?

The mind goes, loss.

It defaults to, I had it, I loved it, and now it's gone.

But underneath that, there's a chance to take the pieces of what remains...

and go down a new path, to find something just as or even more beautiful.

The same loss can mark the beginning of an adventure.

Is it ideal at first?
