We can't ever truly expect things to never change - because change is ever-present in our lives.

It's hard and it's painful - but it's easier to learn to accept the chaos that's within ourselves than to keep running away from it.

A crisis maybe overwhelming but it also requires growing in ways we haven't done before.

When we know someone has done something to us, it can be very hard to forgive. But remember - they're the ones who have truly lost. In forgiving, you can move on, but they'll have to live with their actions.

It's ok not to have answers to a big problem. Be patient, stay open and the answers will arrive.

We know what to do when things go right - but how do we process our emotions when things go wrong? This is where rituals of small and large grief are very important - they help us move on in our day-to-day lives.

When things go awry, we can get caught up in the shame and blame spiral. Instead, ground yourself by remembering that life is full of unknowns.

Don't fall into the trap of obsessing about the future or agonizing about the past. Be honest with yourself and take stock of exactly where you are. This is where real growth always begins.
