Words of wisdom from Daily Om.

No matter how brave, strong, or levelheaded we are, sometimes we all get scared.

Life can take us on a roller coaster ride full of highs and lows and twists and turns.

Even for those of us who enjoy unexpected thrills, it's frightening to suddenly find ourselves heading for a deep plunge.

Yet, it happens to all of us.

"Be a queen. Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge.

While it is always important to honor what we've lost, sometimes a loss can also represent a chance for a new beginning.

When we lose anything that we cherish, the sense of emptiness we are left behind with can be overwhelming.

You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just ponder on them.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five winners of the Miss Universe pageant.
3. Name 10 people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
4. Name the last five Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
5. Name 10 Olympic Gold medalists.

There's nothing like having a circle of women in your life. Like flowers and bandaids, they are indespensible....

Girlfriends don't always tell you that you're right, but they're usually honest. And they still love you, even when they don't agree with your choices.
