I see synergy between this piece and one published a few hours later by jules-Miz Mindful. She writes "Taking chances that grow into changes is a form of artistic expression. One subtle change can make a difference in the outcome. That is where my question of is it a fear or a lack of trust comes into play. As I change my responses, I see trust in myself grow. It gives me a renewed reliability to see the strength in myself again. I no longer give my power away to others because I am confident in my choices of what is best for me and my well-being. It isn’t just forcing myself to do things differently; it is living one day at a time, enjoying the moments as they come." Please read her Changing the Stories of Our Lives https://medium.com/illumination-curated/changing-the-stories-of-our-lives-4b9c6b4c7e6d it's an excellent personal exploration of "It isn’t about things, its about the quality of my moments. The goals and dreams I have are not my final destination. I can facilitate the changes in my life toward freedom. My acronym, starting today, for goals is Good Orderly Actions Leading (to) Serenity."
