Right intention, wrong execution is a common phenomenon many of us encounter throughout our lives. We set out to do what we believe is right, fair and just and, with the best of intentions, only to find ourselves stumbling or facing unexpected challenges and potentially finding ourselves causing harm to those we love.

Things don't always happen when we expect them to, they often happen when they are supposed to happen.

Even the hardest falls in life can have a beautiful return. You can bounce back from anything.

Fall in love with the process of loving yourself.
