Sometimes when our lives are turned upside down, we're led to search for answers.
First let me state that we widows can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances. And the reason we can do such remarkable things is because we are remarkable.
If you don't like how something is going for you, change it. If something doesn't suit you, change it. If you're not happy, change things. You don't ever have to be the same after today.
Fear, if left unchecked, can hold you back from doing the remarkable. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage by fighting back and taking control of your life.
Despite all of the factors that affect our lives - where we were born, our parents, schools etc. - none have the power to affect our future as much as our ability to dream.
You have to be a dreamer to envision your future. And you've got to be willing to put yourself through the paces of doing the uncomfortable until it becomes comfortable. Because that is how you do the remarkable.
