Situations in our lives are not always ideal. You go into it expecting a certain outcome, and something completely different happens. All those create change, but you must determine whether the change is positive or negative. I throw an amazing pity party, but at the end of the day, someone has to clean up, and it should be yourself.

This book is about a handful of times in my life that the pain in the moment seemed like it was never going to end, but on the other side of that, I found growth, knowledge, and strength. You cannot control every situation or outcome, but you can control what type of person unwanted outcomes create. Take charge of your mind and be the author of your own story.
