Sometimes I remind myself that I almost skipped the party, that I almost went to a diferent college, that the whim of a minute could have changed everything and everyone. Our lives, so settled, so specific, are built on happenstance.

Change is inevitable. No matter if it’s good or bad, change is one of the few things in life you can always rely on. Don’t fear it, but feel reassured - you won’t live the same life all along.

True positive thinking is not the absence of negative thoughts. It’s the ability to feel negative when you have to and still maintain enough hope to keep on going. Life throws us twist and turns that can make us feel bad. You don’t have to block negative feelings that simply show you are human. Just make the choice not to let them hold you back. A positive person never allows the reality of the moment to stop them from seeing a better future and climbing as many mountains as it takes to get there.
