Ever had one of those moments where a life lesson long time coming fits into place? You finally understand the lesson, which now feels like Ohhhh the square peg goes in the square hole. Life never gets easier, you just get stronger. It’s what makes for a rich life.

Are you waiting for the perfect moment to make a change in your life?
