“Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. I am learning to live between effort and surrender.”
-Danielle Orner

“I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.”
-Edward Everett Hale

***From my memoir***

“When life doesn’t add up, when circumstances are out of my control, I begin to look inward for the answers. I steady my focus on the eye of the storm. The raging winds that surround me may momentarily limit the freedom to do as my heart wishes; to do what I want to do. Those moments are tough, but I allow them into existence just long enough to catch my breath.

But, look out! The very next breath that fills my lungs is deliberate and becomes a rally cry to action.

What follows is the formidable consolidation of mind, body, and will to tackle all that is within my power to effect. I shift into doing what I CAN do.

Over the past few weeks I have strategically subtracted the nonessentials. The issue outside of my control is saturated in muddled complexity. My response? Greater simplicity. Doing what I can do has allowed me to silence the noise and turn up the peace within me. The tempest will not yield to contentment.

Nevertheless, my peace does not require permission from the thrashing. Peace is afforded through the realization that I possess all that I need. The purchase price for my sanity is the simplicity of looking around and seeing the beauty, the love and the heart in all that surrounds me.

Gratitude: that is the power I wield. I am powered by a grateful heart and fueled by devotion to something greater than myself. ‘Come at me bro!’”🤺
