pain is inevitable, it’s what you do with it that matters

Today, I am grateful to know pain is inevitable, and to have tools that help me to overcome it. 

I am learning my anxiety spikes when I encounter uncertainty especially when it’s tied to my financial security. 

I accomplished walking away before frustration got the best of me. 

I delighted in a hot shower, in the relief I felt after a huge screaming cry, in a great meeting with my financial advisor, in gifting tea to a stranger, and in handing my fears over to my higher power.
