You are the author of your own life.

Last Friday I had the opportunity to attend a workshop full of great entrepreneurial women from across the Niagara Region. During the workshop, our wonderful teacher Monica shared a quote with us that I found to be very inspirational.

I am the type of person who believes that we design our lives. Things happen for a reason, yes, but the aftermath is totally up to us. Whether it is a positive or a negative situation, the approach we take is fully in our hands.

Therefore, as soon as I heard this quote, I thought I would share it with you all! It totally suits my philosophy so I hope you find it as helpful and inspiring as I did. So here it goes:

“Your life doesn't just "happen."

Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you.

The choices, after all, are yours.

You choose HAPPINESS.

You choose SADNESS.

You choose DECISIVENESS.

You choose AMBIVALENCE.

You choose SUCCESS.

You choose FAILURE.

You choose COURAGE.

You choose FEAR.

Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.”

- Steven Covey

Have a lovely week.
