“Look – changing a life is a big thing. It’s not like a “wake up on the right side of the bed” kind of choice. It takes work – hard work. And time – a lot of it. But you want to know the hardest part? Beginning. The absolute hardest part about changing your life is convincing yourself that it is worth doing. Forcing yourself to get it out of your head and into the world. So do me a favor. Start by SAYING IT OUT LOUD. That thing. I mean it. Speak it into existence. Write it on a mirror in lipstick. Stick it to the dashboard in your car. Hell, tattoo it on your writs if that’s your thing. But the trick is, you keep that thing CENTRAL to everything you do and are in this life. And love, I promise you that your life will change. Your life is only a series of habits that are formed from the choices you make – and continue to make – every single day. So if you want something different, teach yourself to do something differently. It’s both that simple and that complex. Because getting what you want begins with knowing what you want. And then working every day on progress.”

“It’s ok to have a heart that is soft, but tired. Tired of fighting back. Of being string. Of rebuilding. It’s ok to have a heart that is tired of hoping. Of helping. Of searching for positive in the never ending chaos. That doesn’t make you weak, love. Or negative. Or lost. It just makes you real. You know you can’t be strong forever, right? That’s just not how it works. We all have a breaking point – a point we start to need something else. Someone else. May be its time. May be its time away. May be its simply words that finds us, and remind us that tired hearts are the beautifully simple evidence that love had led us. Is leading us. That we followed what we believed and chased what we want and believed like hell in the things this crazy old world told us were impossible. So let that beautiful, kind, tender heart be a little tired if it needs to be. Let it rest, if it wants to. Time will heal those pieces you think are broken, love. It always does. It always will.”

“The question is never why is this happening to me? The question is – what are you being pushed towards and how are you being asked to change? Look, this life hands out some damn hard things. I get it. But it just doesn’t make mistakes. And I can’t tell you why it has to happen like this for you – but I can tell you that your job is simple. Figure out how to use what you’re being given. I mean it. Figure out why life thinks you need to have this experience. Right now. At this moment. And then focus on that. You will get your answers one day. Trust me. Time is the wisest and greatest teacher there is. And she always explains. Always.”
