“You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call “failure” is not the falling down, but the staying down.” – Mary Pickford

What we take on and release determines the tone of each day. Joy or angst is found in the same detail viewed from different angles. Some moments, some days, we need to simply shake it off and start a new. Carry what matters and discard the rest.
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” – Buddha
