We have so many moments in life and each and every one of them involves a choice. A decision that ignites a pathway for an experience. These moments can be small and other times big in terms of the direction our lives take. At the core of the choice are two competing forces logic and emotion. When in perfect balance I believe we make the best choices but seldom does that happen for most because unless you have power over them they will have power over you. The path forward all comes down to the perspective in which we see things.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to have it all while others struggle? The difference often comes down to one thing: how they choose to think. Thoughts run through our minds constantly, yet most of us pay little attention to the conversations we have with ourselves. The reality is this: your day — and your life — is shaped by the thoughts you plant and nurture. Life happens to you or for you, depending on the perception you choose.

Many never find it, but I promise it's there, waiting to be discovered, and maybe one of these poems helps you do just that.

The inspiration for this audiobook came from a conversation with a friend of mine who felt stuck after a divorce left her just trying to keep her head above water. It centered around the idea of how are the things you want possible when your current situation does not support any of those dreams. Items like money, career, current obligations, and really just the status of where a persons life is compared to a reality that seems so out of reach and not realistic. This is a mindset of limiting beliefs based on current circumstances.
