Life can be hard. Really hard. And yet, we are not fated to a valley of self absorption and misery. I have witnessed people face tremendous physical and mental challenges with earnestness, humility and grace. More often, I have seen people ---and experienced myself-- succumb to self-pit and despair at times. And, I seen despair turn into light.

As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you. As long as you are alive, there is hope. As long as there is hope, there is a reason to try. And if despair wins today, tomorrow the sun will rise, and we will give it another shot.

Whenever you have a change in seasons, that’s a good time to reset. The cooler weather of fall, as well as routine shifts like heading back to school, make it a great moment to see where you stand.

Think it’s too late to achieve your goals? Think again. Here’s how to revisit those aspirations and make meaningful progress toward them.
