I am still here because I refuse to let anything or anyone decide what I get to have. I am still here because I refuse to let my trauma have the last word. I am still here because I will not let a nightmare have more power than my dreams. I am still here because I didn't allow the hard time to make me weak; I willed it to make me strong.

“You were made to have the dreams you’re afraid of having. You were made to do things that you don’t think you’re qualified for. You were made to be a leader, You were made to contribute. You were made to make changes for good, both in your local community and the world at large. You were made to be more than you are today and – this is the important part – your version of more might not look like my more, or hers.” Rachel Hollis

You need to embrace your path. You need to accept that whatever happened did happen and choose to be mindful of the steps that you've got to take now to heal and get past those things. You cannot keep living in the excuses of something that happened fifteen or twenty years ago. Because, seriously, how is that working for you?” Rachel Hollis

Moving or traveling or getting away? It's just geography. Moving doesn't change who you are. It only changes the view outside your window. You must choose to be happy, grateful, and fulfilled. If you make that choice every single day, regardless of where you are or what's happening, you will be happy.” Rachel Hollis
