Make Peace With The Unknown:

I need you to make peace with the fact that you do not know what the future is going to bring. This is not easy. The only way that you can make peace with an unknown future, which, P.S. , is the only kind of future there has ever been-is to harness strength from your past and live wholly and fully in the present. If you’ve ever come to one of my talks, then you know I spend time on coming to terms with and finding power in your past. I do this because I believe that the obstacles we’ve overcome in our past don’t make us weaker, I believe those trials make us warriors. Plenty of people will look at their past and only see the hardships, the hurt, the loss, but I choose to see all my pain and trauma and grief as the reason I am the woman I am today. When I am able to harness that strength and fight to stay present in the present, I don’t need to worry about the future. I can rest in the knowledge that today is enough.
