I am capable of doing hard things

When things get tough, I remind myself: I’ve survived before, and I’ll thrive again. I’ve got strength I haven’t even tapped into yet.

I begin this day with gratitude in my heart

Before I rush into doing, I pause in thankfulness. For breath, for love, for simply waking up — I am grateful. And that gratitude will shape my day.
