The lighthouse doesn’t go around the town blinding people. It just shines bright and chills. People are free to come check it out when they’re ready. Lesson in there.

When you’re sick, all you wish for is to be healthy. When you’re healthy, you compare yourself to everyone else and complain about everything being unfair. The answer is to take the moments you’re healthy, and express gratitude for what you already have. Gratitude will put you in an upward loop. Suddenly the birds singing become beautiful, your mom’s laugh become a blessing, and your breath becomes your best friend, calming you down whenever you need. Cherish these small moments. They can potentially be gone at the blink of an eye.

Build a life that matches your values, not someone else’s blueprint. If you live someone else’s script, you’ll never discover your own. Step off the paved road and start carving the one that truly reflects your essence, vision, and mission.
