Today I met two women who I respect, but respected even more after our meetings as we drank water. Last night I had coconut water with another lady who I respect, but reminded me why I should be grateful to live.

My emails are filled with messages from people who are stuck in a rut, who are unhappy, asking for help and direction. All I can do is listen, respond as positively as I can and refer them to professionals who can help.

How do I inspire myself then? By learning from past experiences. The good ones I remember and build on when I can. The bad ones I remember and as soon as I experience something that reminds me of unhappy things I tell myself I deserve better and I’ve learned from the experience.

Life is an eternal experience.
