Quit overthinking

"You are being called to heal yourself, not to agonize over your mistakes. Quit overthinking; this is what surrendering really means.

When everything falls to pieces

"Sometimes, right when you think your life is getting better, then everything falls to pieces and you end-up right back where you started. In those moments just remember, that right when your life has fallen apart, something unexpected will come along; a new person, friend, opportunity or discovery, that will help you put the pieces back together again.
