Crossroads Quote by Emily Grabatin

“When paralyzed at a crossroads, our stress is often centered around the pieces we don’t know. We worry about the future. We seek to make the unknowns known. We try to pin down the things we can’t control. How can we look at our paths from a place of hope rather than fear?” quote by Emily Grabatin
