We now live amid triumph and disaster. We feel love, fear, and hope. We experience resolve, loss, and light. We are in a time when every obstacle, turmoil, and jubilation is present. So do we focus on what we want? Or do we focus on what we don’t want? The energy we expend is the same. It’s easy to get captivated by drama and trauma and forget the love and value we have for others and ourselves. How do we meet our challenges with grace and love?
