Too often, we look at success as something dictated by luck or circumstance—things beyond our control. But what if we could shift the narrative and create our own odds? The more intentional we are about our lives, the more we embrace the idea that we aren’t simply given a hand to play. Our journey is shaped by how we choose to show up, how we invest our time and energy, and how we respond to the challenges that arise. Acting on opportunities when they present themselves, leading with "yes," and avoiding the temptation to say "no" tips the scales in our favor. Creating our own odds means taking control, making purposeful decisions, and showing up with intention. The truth is, the more we align our actions with our values and vision, the less life feels like something that happens to us. Our life unfolds as we envision it, when we take charge and create our own odds—and that is fully within our control.

Loving life, when I create my odds
