Quotes to ponder:

"We embrace a situation by recognizing and taking advantage of the positive aspects of it and/or the opportunities present within it."

"Each time we are successful in embracing what is, we develop this muscle further and become more resourceful."

"The 'grass is always greener' mentality is a trap. It ensures that we will feel unhappy with any situation we find ourselves in."
