“As you move outside of your comfort zone, what was once the unknown and frightening becomes your new normal.” ~Robin S. Sharma “Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself." ~Lucille Ball “No matter who you are, no matter what you did, no matter where you’ve come from, you can always become a better version of yourself.” ~Madonna “Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t.” ~Steve Maraboli “At any given moment you have the power to say: This is not how the story is going to end.” ~Author Unknown “The road might be long. The journey might be challenging and full of dangers. Take a rest, if you must, but never turn back. Your very next step can be your moment of triumph. Your very next battle can be your greatest victory. Keep walking, warrior. ~Jane Tepley
