How patience becomes easier.
"Patience is a virtue." As I've discussed before, I have been in a period where I've had to wait for things to come. I knew they were coming (and they were good things), but I couldn't do anything about them because it wasn't time yet. Now that the time has come for these things…
Speak your mind.
I've found that I need to talk things through when I have something on my mind... Which seems to be all the time. From ideas, goals, doubts, anxieties, questions, observations - my mind always seems to have something I want to talk about. For a long time, I would always tell myself "It's interesting…

It’s okay to be scared.
Being scared is normal. Those butterflies, feelings of unease, nervousness, sweaty palms. That is a normal reaction to anything that you put weight/value in. Whether that be a job interview, a competitive event, a first date, or a test, it's totally normal to have those feelings. However, there is a difference between being scared…
Grab on.
I think about the saying "Play the hand you have been dealt" quite often. Sometimes because of the practical purpose of the saying, in that, you get dealt a different hand each day, and we have to work with what we have. It is not always the hand we want, but it is the hand…
