I think that it’s important to step back and appreciate the smaller things in our lives, like the little chickadees that come to the bird feeder or how noticeable the speed of the clouds moving is when it’s windy out.

The belief that I have control over individual aspects of my life.

After a very unsuccessful childhood academic journey, I eventually discovered that I could be a successful student by taking control of my own education. Once I made this realization and began to believe it, I began experiencing success in school which further reinforced my belief (positive feedback cycle). Now, I truly believe that I can be successful as a student because I know that I have control over the things that people need to be successful, i.e., my motivation, environment, time-allotment...
