Anyone who knows me know that I am a planner. I am always thinking about the next step and the choices that come with that next step. Sometimes it was so bad because I would become so consumed with the future that I really didn’t enjoy the present. When I met my husband and we were dating I was so nervous because I knew I loved him early and I was concerned about the future possibilities and options associated with this relationship. After many days of contemplation I read a quote from Oprah Winfrey that changed my life.

Breathe. Let Go and remind yourself that this moment is the only one you know for sure. 

That quote changed me for good from that moment on. Although I am still a planner, I realized that I cannot stress about the possibilities and options of the future. But I can focus on what today brings and what I know for sure. This concept settled my heart, mind and spirit.

Lesson 7: I will live each day relishing on the things I know for sure.
