1. Suffering is inevitable, but staying stuck is optional. Your response to adversity defines the trajectory of your growth.
2. Reframing is a superpower. Choosing how to perceive failure, tragedy, and pain can transform setbacks into stepping stones.
3. Life is for the living. Even through profound grief, moving forward honors those we’ve lost and empowers those still with us.
