While you are working hard and leveling up, you may struggle, and life may feel unbearable. But one day you stand in front of the mirror, look at yourself, and realize that you have become the person you always wanted to be — and that you are living your dream life.

You can cope, or you can learn. The choice is yours.

Where people see themselves is usually where they end up. You can’t drive a car you refuse to drive. The life you have is the life you keep accepting again and again.

When an angry dog starts barking at you, you don’t become angry, aggressive, or defensive, and you don’t try to fight it. You think, “I imagine how hard her life probably is.”

The problem is you believe the world is about rainbows and unicorns.
