Our theme for the second week of this month of vision is OPTIMISM - how you are able to transform something difficult or challenging into something incredible, into wisdom. These are the greatest lessons we can learn from in life. Meaning found in moments of hardships and difficulty is unbelievably powerful; it has the ability to transform our lives into something beautiful.

"When it rains, look for rainbows; when it's dark, look for stars." - Oscar Wilde

I find this Oscar Wilde quote truly inspiring and life-changing. It is difficult for us to remain optimistic and to remain hopeful when we have experienced negative or disappointing events in our lives. Yet, it is our right to have love, to have joy, to create. It takes grit and it takes determination and most importantly, it takes being still. In allowing ourselves to just BE, we can ask ourselves: What do we truly want for ourselves? In this moment of stillness, we will uncover who we really are. So, whenever life becomes difficult I encourage you to take this advice. Sit down. Quiet yourself. BE still. You will uncover a truth that will transform your life.
