Quote of the Day

"It’s okay to acknowledge the moments of bad. It’s okay that not every day ends with skipping and holding hands with the world. I hope you noticed how I said 'acknowledge' there and not 'cling to these moments and define your job and existence by that incident.' Once you’ve acknowledged the moment, let it go. Shake it off. You don’t have to forget it, but you do have to move past it."
