When you learn something new, that you could have made use of years ago, be gentle with yourself. Transform regret into gratitude.

Aliveness, when settled against the backdrop of suffering is a true revolt. Moving deeply into the details of our lives is a defiant vote. A willful decision to say, despite the circumstances...

"I will choose Aliveness. In this way, I will turn the suffering that has occurred into something meaningful. Small actions such as awakening myself to nature, creating a solution, or choosing empathy - these are just a few of the actions within my grasp. Through these actions, I will create for myself a humble triumph. Refusing misery, I will call myself into presence, into aliveness and declare radical victory over tragedy"
