“The only way to avoid getting in your way in the future is to be aware of yourself right now in the present. Don’t forget every day to be grateful for the things you have. Be grateful you worked hard for what you have. Surrender to everything around you that you can’t control. Don’t overthink the future or overanalyze the past. People hurt you. There are potential things to be afraid of. But not right now this second. Take at least half this second to enjoy what you have. Take the other half to feel the different parts of your body and think, ‘I am here’. Listen to the sounds you can hear right now. Listen to the silences in between those sounds.”
