My sister gave me the best advice today. She said whatever you face in life does not determine your destiny. You can always choose how you react - you either make the best out of it, write a book about it, learn from it, getting experience through it or you decide to let it destroy you. The thing is, you have to make such decisions on a daily basis because you’re living in a broken world. But it’s up to you if you’re building and creating something good out of it or if you let your circumstances destroy you. It sounds so simple but I know so many people who stuck for years in the same place and excuse it with their circumstances or with difficult past experiences. It’s their choice. But they don’t have to live like that. You can win this game called life. You always have a choice. Every morning is a new opportunity to start again.

small victories
and large defeats
and I am as
amazed
as any other
that
I have gotten
from there to
