I Hope You Find The Courage To Gently Start Over (A Meditation for Motivation)

Let this be a reminder that your life isn’t defined by who you once were, but rather how willing you are to embrace each new moment’s opportunity to create a life you deserve.

“You are not hopeless, and the story is not over. You are not the sum of the people you used to be. You are not the sum of the way other people see you. And you are not the sum of just what you think you are capable of right now…because you are so much more.” — Brianna Wiest
