“Not knowing what’s going to happen next doesn’t frighten me; rather, it excites me.  I’ve learned from my family’s stories and have developed my resilience, so now I can handle whatever comes my way with open eyes, open ears, an open heart, and an open mind.  No matter how the events of our lives appear to be at first, let’s take a step back, reserve judgment, and carefully pay attention as things play out.  Making this simple shift in perspective will help us find opportunities to improve how we feel about things along the way.” ~ Humble the Poet, Things No One Else Can Teach Us (Page 176)
