Simplify it.

Bring yourself back to basics. 

Do you believe in destiny?

I don’t believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that it’s my responsibility to make the best situation out of each and every turn life paves for me. Road trips aren’t enjoyable when it’s just traveling from point A to point B. It’s the stories, the sights, the memories. The car breaking down in that funny little town I’d never stop in and the wrong turn down an unexpected road that I decide to get a little extra lost in. It’s the adventure that gives the trip substance. The humor found from moments of frustration and the beauty within the unforeseen. 


Happiness is not drawn from circumstance. Whether you think you need to be rich, famous, married, etc, the key is to focus on what you have. Gratitude, attitude and perspective. Maybe you’re struggling to make ends meet and temporarily unable to support yourself the way you hoped. Perhaps you hadn’t considered a lower budget lifestyle. Now you have access to raw, sustainable joy. Not the kind you buy, the kind you learn. We have everything we need to maintain a happy lifestyle in our mind and in our heart. Attitude is the switch between letting circumstance shut us down or turn us on. 


It may be easier to convince myself that everything comes with a reason. A simple understanding to why bad things happen to good people. An idea of hope and progression. What’s good is still to come. 


I like to believe that my power is stronger than the universe. 


My cards aren’t already selected. I’m not just waiting around for them to be dealt. My deck is filled with wild cards. The value of each card, or circumstance if you will, is what I give it. You see, my life has a myriad of destinies. Things happen to me and then I happen to them.​ I always get the final call and folding is not an option. The game never ends. Seeking value, interpreting positive perspective, motivating the courage to continue, these are just a few of my strategies. The glimmer of what’s to come shines ahead and attracts me to my progress. I might have to crawl at times, dragged on my hands and knees, but when I get back up, I earn one of life’s tokens. The greatest prize a human player can achieve. I made it through to the next level. Adding new tools to my collection, unlocking strength and uncovering fresh knowledge. I am stronger now, ready to take on what’s next. 


There’s only one option when I play the game of life: winning. It might not always seem like I’m on a road to success, but with a winning mindset, I become stronger with every move. Why crumble when I can fly? Why let life’s challenges defeat me when it’s battling them that make me vigorous? It’s my life and I choose to make the most of it. Too many landmarks, celebrations, even the tiniest moments of pleasure waiting for my arrival. My life is my story filled with my decisions. My destiny remains unwritten and the pen’s in my hand.
