Early on I learned the value of choosing not to be the victim. Good stuff.

Indeed, that's a piece of advice I give to my daughter every time she complains about her life!

It seems like circumstances are the name of the game these days! You're right, it's up to us to embrace them and not get consumed by them. Hard but necessary. And the greatest form of love! Sending mine to you!

Thank you Sondra. It's not so hard when we accept nothing is personal. It's like in a video game, a Jumanji game: We are presented with circumstances and it's up to us what we want to do with them, with curiosity rather than fear, for we got this. We always are who we are, we are the sole constant in our equation and we are not here to convince others with our truth, just to be a role model of what we want to see more in the world, not matter our surroundings. On my part, I try to be a role model of love, joy and hope. Lots of love.

Yes! It is all a choice of perspective and we ARE the heroes of our own quest.
