Embracing change, acknowledging our strengths

Happy Wednesday!

Here are 3 thoughts, 2 quotes, and 1 question to ponder this week.

3 Thoughts:

I. "Change is the law of life, but our resistance often blinds us to its potential. Embrace change not as a disruptive force, but as an opportunity for growth and learning."

II. "Optimism is a choice, not an inherent trait. It is about seeing the glass as half full, but also being ready to fill it up the rest of the way. Choose optimism—it's the cornerstone of resilience."

III. "True strength lies not only in acknowledging our abilities but also in recognizing our weaknesses. Understanding our limitations helps us navigate towards success more effectively."

2 Quotes:

I. Novelist Paulo Coelho on embracing change:

"One day you will wake up and there won't be any more time to do the things you've always wanted. Do it now."
