Not everything seems so clear right now, but eventually, it will all come together, and you'll see why some things didn't work out, most especially if it's what you planned and what you wanted. Know that when God doesn't give you the answers and the life that you want, He gives you what is necessary, in ways that you least expect. Accept that you're not always going to get the answers that you want to sew your ease in life together. You don't need to have everything figured out for you to continue living your life.

You have a great life to live. Give it breath. It's not too late for you. This week, remember that when we think positively toward life, it changes how we see the world and how we end up living every day. Get a taste of each moment, no matter how brief.

Growth is a universal principle that helps us recognize the meaning of life. We all need to grow and become something more than what we are. We involve ourselves in projects and passions that are sometimes even bigger than ourselves. This week, tell yourself this: "As I focus on good things, good things will happen for me. I am thankful for what I have because it's what I have now. I am grateful for experiences that help me grow, and life is full of them."

"It's not working. It's taking a long time. I'm not enough of what I want to be, and I'm not where I expected to be by now." Before you start making another long list of why it can't and won't work out, recognize where you are now and how much it took to get there. You are strong, and you're not about to throw away everything you've worked hard to get.

It takes a change in perspective to find comfort in uncertainty. We don't know what the world holds for us. There are a lot of things we would love to try, but we are afraid to take the plunge. Christopher Lamzon had a great career ahead of him. When he left a job he loved, he thought everything would work out for him right away. Unfortunately, things didn't quite go as planned. In this episode, he talks about how he embraced uncertainty, welcomed opportunities, and learned more about himself and his personal growth.

We often hate it when life becomes complicated. We want the beautiful beginnings and the empowering endings. Can't we skip through the mess in the middle? If only it were that easy.

In the middle, we become demotivated and experience pressure and burnout. Take time to revisit your goals and go back to why you started in the first place.

We're not always going to wake up with a winning attitude, but that doesn't mean we've given up. We all struggle to stay on track, but you don't have to skim your way through life. You have so much to look forward to even beyond your goals and the finish line. Here's a cliché: when you feel like quitting, think about why you started.

We often give up too early in the situation because we feel like we're probably just not cut out for it. Imagine if you allowed everything wrong in your life to become the reason why you won't challenge your potential, or allowed every mean comment to determine that you're not "cut out" for something. Give yourself a chance and see where life takes you.

We've all once started something but quickly lost interest and motivation throughout the journey. In this episode, my dear friend Iana Ilaya talks about how living life with intention has helped her keep up with her job and business with her partner.

The good thing about a "no" in life is that there are so many opportunities for growth. There is always an upside to anything if you're willing to see it. If something doesn't work out for you, that doesn't disqualify you from all the other chances you can take. Sometimes a "no" means a "not right now," a "not for you," or a "not this time."
