Everything in this life given to us is to care for, not own. It does not belong to us. We will get more of what we’ve proven we can handle. We dream of $1 million but how well have we managed the $100 in our bank account? Have we been generous, and invested wisely? Or…

What is familiar to you? Is it being comfortable, or being challenged? Being criticized or encouraged? Being around people with a negative viewpoint, or people that radiate light and positive energy?

However brutal, if you learn from them you make good of them. The true mistakes are the repeat failures, the ones you don’t learn from. These become devastating and can be exponentially more damaging than what you thought was the initial mistake. Successful people make mistakes – then learn and live differently accordingly. But many…
