No matter how long the road may be or how far you have come in life, the only change that truly shines through is within. The world will change around you, and the landscape may take a different shape, but you’ll remain the same until life’s threads shift you.

The way you think—how you once saw something one way, only to see it differently five years later—evolves over time. The journey can be rough, and may seem easy at times, and then a sudden traumatic experience raises the roadblocks. Those roadblocks are made up of varying degrees of rocks, grit, and dirt.

Each time we fall, we choose to get up or stay in place. Our choices—or those that we let choose for us—will either shape us or break us.
