Your Soul Always Remains

☼

The soul, the innermost essence of who you are, is all that you really have control over.

Your soul is shaped by the values that you live out each day, and it exists in all situations:
When we are born and when we die;
In times of intense suffering, and also in times of pure joy;
During the bleak and dark periods of our lives, as well as in the successful and prosperous ones.

We all have a soul, from the moguls to the destitute. And we all hold responsibility for our actions, for our circumstances in life can change drastically over time; the difference between where you are right now and where you will be in ten years depends on numerous factors.

Once you’ve lived through enough phases in life, you can see that, for better or for worse, times will change. Yet your soul, the inner core of who you are, will always remain.

While many situations in life are beyond our control, you can always control how you respond to what happens to you. 

By staying true to yourself and to your values, even through periods of difficulty or uncertainty, you will begin to know in your heart that you can count on yourself. Ultimately, that belief in yourself is what gives you the courage and perseverance to face anything that comes your way.
