You will face some very challenging things in your life, and when those challenges present themselves, your mind can trick you into believing the obstacles you're facing are much bigger than they are. Wait, what. Yep, it's true, and you don't even realize it's happening. How is that possible? Whenever you face the unknown or uncertainty in your life, the natural human tendency is to focus on what could go wrong or how difficult it could be.

I contemplated writing this post for many reasons; the biggest was that no one loves discussing their struggles. Then I realized that's also why I had to write this post. Everyone will struggle in their life. But, unfortunately, some struggle more than others, and I'm convinced it's because they've never developed the tools to face them head-on. Listen, it's not a matter of if but of when and how many. During those times, you will only have control over how you react and respond to your struggles.

As we move into the holiday season and look forward to the New Year, it was important to me to say thank you to everyone who has taken the time to engage and share my content. I cannot tell you how gratifying it is to receive messages letting me know that my content has positively impacted someone. It truly inspires me to continue being in the difference in my life while inspiring others along the way.

That's why I will continue to post on all my social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Twitter) accounts.I wish you...
Your ability to look inwards determines your capability to look outwards with compassion, kindness, and understanding. In my opinion, we need a hell of a lot more compassion, kindness, and understanding in the world today and in the future. If you disagree, stop reading and move on to something you feel will be more valuable because this will do you absolutely no good; but know this, I wish you all best. If you believe we need more of those things, read on, and I hope you enjoy my take on the importance of learning to look inwards instead of outwards.Listen, it's effortless to look outward and point out what you believe others have done wrong or where they fall short...
