I believe that one of life's greatest risks is never daring to risk.
The only courage you will need is the courage to live the life you are meant to.
I know for sure that appreciating whatever shows up for you in life changes your personal vibration. You radiate and generate more goodness for yourself when you're aware of all you have and not focusing on your have-nots.
