What is beauty really? Some say it's a matter of physic while for others it is a matter of the heart. I think it is neither, beauty is a matter of the mind; for a beautiful mind cultivates beautiful works. A beautiful mind thinks of plans to cultivate hope, peace, and provisions for others.

This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for
