In some respects, we might expect the trajectory of our lives to continue, uninhibited by unexpected tragedies – or even changes of personal character that would compel us to change beliefs or actions in the future. Life is not linear.

Do not perpetuate negative emotions; we must not dwell on misfortunes that have not yet occurred or may never occur at all.

Humankind has an immense inclination to seek out immediate rewards. Break the cycle: hard work today, reward tomorrow.

In the case of a goal – what remains once we arrive at the end of our journey?

Understand that you are on a journey of never-ending growth.

Whether it be through the influences of those around us or the pessimistic voice within us, we hinder our ability to set out for new aspirations.

Take chances; dance in the rain - the world is your playground!

No matter how busy life becomes, we must make a conscious effort to exercise an insatiable appetite for growth and nuanced activity.

You must know that you do not need to take the journey toward recovery alone.
