Life comes with its fair share of ups and its fair share of downs, but it's about how you react to your downs that makes a difference.

Whatever your mistakes are and whenever you were told no, those things were happening for a reason! They help you stay on your path and end up being our greatest teachers in life.

I challenge you to not think about your failures and mistakes as something negative. Life is 50/50 and you should take that other 50 and think about it optimistically.

About a year ago, I was facing my greatest fear of not being secure or independent. I had ended up having to live with my ex for about 3 months and that time was really hard for me emotionally.

It's hard for me to accept help from others most times, and that experience (while it was disguised as a short-coming on my part) it was a season of amazing growth and transformation.

Once you realize that all of your experiences in life, good and bad, work together to form your right now, you'll be able to have more gratitude for your life and your current situation.
