Every day is another chance to begin again, to start over with a clean slate, to decide what you want your day to hold, to work toward becoming the person you were meant to be. Just as every seed holds the intention of becoming a certain type of plant, so every embryo holds the potential of becoming a certain type of person. However, unlike a plant, we get to choose what type of person we will become.
There may be factors outside of our control: our height, our gender (though this one's changing), the color of our skin. But who we are on the inside is completely up to us. I choose to be a billionaire on the inside, even if it never manifests on the outside. I choose to be kind, warm, loving, and generous. Showing forgiveness instead of holding a grudge, showing mercy instead of pronouncing blame or judgment, and showing concern instead of inflating one's own ego are all priceless beyond words.
