When we fear, we live in the future: we want to know it; we want to control it. We can't. Face your fears by asking yourself, "Where do I want my future self to be?" When we face our fears, we face our future. #YMH5

In this special episode of YMH5, we meditate on those who have sacrificed for us. We recognize that willful sacrifices were rooted in love and that we need to humble ourselves and receive those gifts. #YMH5

Getting caught up in our perfectionism can cause us to not act. Since it can't be perfect, why even try? If we take that route, we miss out on the lessons we could learn along the way. Besides, being perfect is overrated! #YMH5

Success is something that you get to define for yourself. There is no concrete definition. What we need to be careful of, however, is the cost of that success. Does achieving your definition of success come at the cost of other important goals? Appropriate balance is the key! #YMH5

Trust that is healthily-built is slowly built on over time and deserves the weight it has gained through its history of being built, so it does not topple like a Jenga tower. In a sense, trust the trust. #YMH5
