No one is immune to life's discord; it presents a continuous opportunity for choice. I have come to realize that the most painful times often contain the seeds of transformative change. Rather than succumbing to the many perceptions shaped by the ego, I encourage individuals to turn inward instead of away from themselves. This internal shift opens pathways to inner peace, illuminating the darker aspects of our being that need love and compassion. It begins with a simple choice. Choose you.
