Move at your own pace. You have control of your destiny. You have all of the tools that you need. Don’t just let life happen to you; make it happen for you. Every day is a blessing. You are on the right path. Those are just a few variations of mantras that I regularly reminded myself of during this past year of my life. They served as reminders during every moment that I doubted myself, which was often; and every moment that I found myself distracted. I return to those mantras because they all remain true no matter where I am in life.
