OK, so life can be hard. It can also be wonderful.

How quick are you to pick up the phone when you are excited vs. sad?

I believe when you are in the lower level emotions (sadness, hurt, depressed, grief), time alone with yourself is crucial.

If you believe, like I do, that you create your own reality, then you can stop feeling bad about what’s happening to others. (This is very different from caring and loving and supporting those who have found themselves in rough waters).

If you are the captain of your ship, then you must realize that everyone else has their own ship too. It’s true, some people allow others in their world to take their wheel and act as if they have no power. But don’t let that be you!
