Ever look around and think, “How did I get here?”
Good news: wherever “here” is... you’re not stuck. You’re the author of your story — pen in hand, ready for the next chapter.
I was reminded of this when I read that quote from Stephen Richards:
“𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 𝒕𝒐 𝒃𝒆 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒐𝒄𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒖𝒍𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈.”
It hit home like a 💣truth bomb💣 wrapped in lavender-scented calm.
We do get to decide.
Each morning is a fresh chance to choose differently.
Today, maybe it’s deciding to slow down. To breathe deeper. To sip something nourishing. To call someone who listens with love.
Start small.
The plot twist is in your hands.
