On the average day, happiness is letting go of what you assume life is supposed to be like, and sincerely appreciating it for everything it is.

 Breathe in the future, breathe out the past.

No matter where you are or what you’re going through, always believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Never expect, assume, or demand. Just do your best, control the elements you can control, and then let it be. Because once you have done what you can, if it is meant to be, it will happen, or it will show you the next step that needs to be taken.

You cannot control the version of you that lives in someone else's mind.

It doesn't matter what you do.

It doesn't matter how hard you try.

Their going to see the version of you that fits their narrative of you that fits their life.

All you can do is live in a way that upholds your values and that's it.

It’s not what you say to everybody else that determines your life. It’s what you whisper to yourself that has the greatest power.

On an average day, most of your stress comes from the way you respond, not the way life is. Adjust your response and all that extra stress is gone. Truly, inner calmness among chaos is a superpower that frees you to focus more effectively on the few things that actually matter.

So don't overwhelm yourself. Just do what you can right now. Practice focusing on what truly matters, and letting go of what does not. Use your frustrations to motivate you rather than annoy you. You are in control of your focus, and how you choose to allocate your energy today.
