You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope. – Thomas Merton
Like I talked about in the previous quote, you have a corner of the world that you can influence, affect, change, and make sparkle. You don’t need to know how your corner will affect the world or even the next corner over. You just need to do the best you can with your corner and make it as amazing as you are.
The Future is being created by a whole lot of people, and you can’t know what all is going to happen, no matter how big or powerful or influential or psychic you are. But you can build and influence and affect in the now. You can help shape the Future here and now and take all the possibilities and challenges that are here now and make them something unique and in service of your plans for the Future.
You don’t need to know everything in order to do what you can. Even a small step will help to open your eyes and to brighten your corner. And, most of all, to shape your Future.

I appreciate where you are coming from but I assure you that my book, Cinderella Was a Liar, is not depressing nor does it tell you that you have "hidden fears" but instead tells you that you are your own fairy godmother and you have the power to change your life for the better-with or without- a man. It tells you that flying solo can be as wonderful as being in a relationship, how to stop allowing people to make you feel bad for being single, why "love at first sight" is malarky and how to fall in love with you. Cinderella lied by telling us that someone else was responsible for our happiness and that any of us live "Happily Ever After."
Take a look before you pass it off, you might be surprised.
