Remember this

Remember what caused such frustration. Remember what shook us up. What we promised would propel us from this complacency, this stagnation. Look at the glass pumpkin we made not as a reminder of what might have been but as a beacon for what can be. 

Difficult times and choices only make us stronger if we force them to. It doesn’t happen naturally. We have to work out of it. But if we don’t, we risk sinking deeper into the place where we never make change. This is how I feel today.
