It seems like such a scary, claustrophobic proposition.

…life isn’t a puzzle to be solved. It’s an adventure to be savored. Let every challenge be a new mountain to climb, not an obstacle to get in your way and stop you.

And at the top, it never seems to have been as difficult a feat to climb there as you first made it out to be. Most of all, you’ll know that you beat that mountain, and that you rule it. It does not rule you.

Try to be alert to that danger and experience the joy and the adventure of being that woman who is beyond the image reflected in the mirror.
