The Art of Trusting Life’s Unfolding

April 11, 2026 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

Recently, I found myself admiring the fig tree I planted just last year. I was amazed to see that this small tree—only about three feet tall—was already showing signs of abundance at the very beginning of spring. With just a few leaves, it had already produced ten tiny figs, each one quietly trusting the perfect process of unfolding into fruition.

It was a humbling experience in many ways. I was reminded that everything in life begins form small, simple beginnings. As I stood there, I reflected on the divine intelligence guiding this process, step by step, nurturing the growth of these future fruits and how the tree totally and faithfully trusted in its inner guidance. I also thought about the amazing clarity of purpose of this tree. It was not confused thinking what I am going to do when I grow up, or what I should do with my life or it wasn’t fearful about the uncertainty of the future.

Instead, it lives fully in the present, unfolding with grace and clarity of purpose. It trusts that everything is in divine order and that it will become the fullest expression of what it is meant to be—a fig tree bearing generous, abundant fruit. It even trusts that I will care for it: watering it, nurturing, fertilizing, while the sun—its constant companion—provides steady light and warmth.

This humble little tree is a very clear example of how everything in the universe is cared for as we allow for everything to unfold naturally. We, human beings also have the divine guidance of a benevolent universe that wants to provide for absolutely all of our needs so we can live a happy and fulfilling life.

Perhaps the key to receiving its blessings is trust—trusting the unfolding of our purpose, trusting the guidance of a Higher Power, and tending to our own inner garden. When we nurture our lives with love, kindness, and joy, we create the conditions for something beautiful and abundant to grow.

Take a moment to consider your own life through the lens of this humble tree. Where are you being invited to trust the process a little more, even if everything hasn’t fully taken shape yet? What small beginnings are quietly growing within you, asking for patience, care, and belief? Perhaps, like the tree, you don’t need to have all the answers right now—you simply need to stay rooted, present, and open to the light. As you move forward, reflect on how you can nurture your own inner garden with compassion and trust, allowing your life to unfold naturally into something meaningful and abundant.

How to Remain Peaceful in Troubled Times

March 17, 2026 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

As we face and move through such challenging times, I cannot stop asking myself: What should I do to help with the suffering of my brothers and sisters all over the world? My soul clearly and silently cries out that hatred is not the answer, nor is losing hope or forgetting the promise that “this shall pass,” as the Bible teaches us.

At times I feel a whirlpool of emotions, and then I find myself surrendering all of my thoughts and feelings to the only solution there is: prayer and faith.

This is why it is so important to keep deepening our prayer and devotion daily so that we grow stronger in faith each day. The challenges of the world are too great to tackle with our limited mind and intellect alone.

We need to surrender everything to God and allow Him to guide our thoughts, our emotions, and our hearts. Never before do I believe we have been in greater need of deepening our connection with God than we are right now.

We must not doubt that miracles happen every day. We must trust, with all our hearts, that through the prayers offered by millions of people around the world something sacred is unfolding. By the grace of God, we will enter into a state of peace—a state of harmony, nonviolence, and the absence of conflict.

As I reflect on the different ways in which I can remain peaceful and centered in God, here are some ideas:

Be warriors for the Light. Choose compassion and understanding instead of falling into judgement and resentment. Do your best to surrender your thoughts to God and choose kindness and patience remembering that even in the middle of chaos, there is divine order.

Replace fear with courage and faith. Focus on solutions and remain positive regardless of outward circumstances. Faith is the quiet inner knowing that we are guided, supported, and capable of navigating whatever life brings.

Abstain from watching the news. To keep our hearts pure and centered in love, peace, and harmony, we must refrain from negative conversations, constant news consumption, or anything that fills our hearts with anxiety. Instead, we can occupy our time by helping others who might need support, taking walks in nature, or reading and listening to uplifting inspirations.

Pray with devotion: As you pray, visualize the Presence of God as a white Light descending over everyone on earth and blessing us with unlimited peace and love.

Meditate regularly: Meditation helps us center our minds in God and calm our emotions. In communion with God, we remember that we are not alone, He is in charge.

Read scriptural passages that help you stay centered in peace. These sacred words carry a deep vibration that can help keep us calm and spiritually grounded.

In times of uncertainty and global turmoil, our greatest strength lies in surrendering to God, deepening our faith, and nurturing our inner peace. By choosing compassion over judgment, courage over fear, and prayer over despair, we align ourselves with the divine Light that guides and sustains us. Small daily practices—prayer, meditation, scriptural reflection, and acts of kindness—help us remain centered and resilient, even amidst chaos. Remember, miracles unfold quietly every day, and through steadfast devotion, we can cultivate a heart of harmony, hope, and unwavering faith.

This quote from Paramhansa Yogananda resumes what we need to do in times of unrest: “You must stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds.”

The Peace Walk: A Living Invitation

March 17, 2026 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

The 2,300-mile “Peace Walk” undertaken by 19 Vietnamese Buddhist venerable monks from October 26, 2025, to February 12, 2026, has deeply touched my heart. Their journey, entirely on foot from, from Texas to Washington, D.C. was more than a physical pilgrimage—it was a spiritual invitation. They sought to raise awareness of peace, loving-kindness, and compassion across America and the world. As I followed their walk, I felt something awaken within me: the realization that peace is not something to demand from the world, but something to embody from within.

These venerable monks have inspired me to do my part by remembering that I can bring peace into this world simply by choosing to access the inner peace that already resides within me. I do not have to protest anything, be against anyone, convince others of my spiritual beliefs, feel anger toward anyone, or preach to anyone. All I need to do is go within, connect with the everlasting peace of my soul, live in the present moment, want nothing, and accept everything as it is.

As the monks walked from Texas to Washington, D.C., they touched and transformed thousands of people through their living example of true peace. They walked in silence, and when they arrived in towns and cities, they were welcomed with open hearts and deep gratitude. Along their long journey, they blessed everyone they encountered. When they spoke, their message was simple and clear: Be kind, loving, and peaceful. They invited everyone, upon waking each morning, to write down, “Today is going to be my peaceful day,” and to express the essence of this affirmation throughout the day.

Key Aspects of the Walk’s Message:

Inner Peace is Key: The monks emphasized that peace starts in the heart of each individual and ripples outward.
Mindfulness over Distraction: The walk promoted practicing mindfulness in daily life, with messages like “Today is going to be my peaceful day” and encouraging people to reduce reliance on digital devices.
Unity Amid Division: The pilgrimage sought to promote national healing and bring people together across different faiths and backgrounds during a time of political and social division.
Non-Materialistic Action: The monks demonstrated this message by walking for 108 days, often in harsh winter conditions without taking days off, focusing on breathing and presence.

Ultimately, the monks’ journey reminded me that peace does not begin in governments, movements, or debates—it begins in the human heart. If I choose each morning to declare, “Today is going to be my peaceful day,” and live that intention through kindness, acceptance, and presence, then I am participating in the same sacred walk. Their footsteps may have ended in Washington, D.C., but the path of peace continues wherever I choose to walk it.

Self-Empowerment: What the World Needs Now

January 13, 2026 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

Self-empowerment is not merely a personal achievement; it is a profound inner awakening that reshapes how we experience ourselves, others, and the world. It begins the moment we recognize that true strength, wisdom, and guidance do not come from external circumstances, but from an inner divine source that has always been present. When we choose to take responsibility for our inner life, we embark on a journey of transformation—one that moves us from blame and limitation into awareness, compassion, and conscious living.

As I reflect on my journey here on Earth, I can clearly recognize that self-empowerment has been the main catalyst in developing my empathy and understanding toward others. In the early years of my youth, my attitude was centered on my own needs—what I wanted and what I believed I deserved. I was especially inclined to blame others when I did not receive what I wanted. At that time, I can honestly say that I had a largely selfish outlook on life.

This attitude brought me a great deal of suffering. Life repeatedly tried to teach me that happiness must be cultivated from within, yet I remained convinced that others were responsible for my happiness and were obligated to behave in ways that pleased me. I longed for harmony in my life, but instead, I experienced only disappointment.

Fortunately, my second divorce became the turning point that pushed me to seek help. Through that process, I began the magnificent journey of self-empowerment. Self-empowerment, as described by AI, is “the inner awakening to one’s divine source and inherent authority—the realization that guidance, strength, wisdom, and creative power arise from within rather than from outer conditions or approval.”

This is exactly what I did. I began to develop confidence in my inner ability to make wise decisions in every aspect of my life—spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. I will forever be grateful for the support of the remarkable mentors, coaches, teachers, courses, books, programs, and divine guidance that have truly helped me empower myself.

When each of us chooses self-empowerment, we become catalysts for collective transformation. A world shaped by empowered individuals is not only possible—it begins with us. This means that each person takes full responsibility for their actions, releases the habit of blaming others, and commits to doing whatever is necessary to transform negative patterns and live from a place of self-empowerment.

Self-empowerment begins with a sacred resolve—to become a beacon of light in the world. It unfolds through the daily practice of compassion, kindness, generosity, patience, and friendship. Above all, it is the conscious alignment with Source, allowing divine qualities—love, wisdom, compassion, courage, and creativity—to be expressed through our lives.

There are countless resources available to guide you in empowering yourself in every area of your life: hiring a coach; listening to inspirational audios; watching programs that encourage personal growth; reading uplifting books or materials; attending retreats or workshops that foster inner transformation; and, above all, developing a deep and personal relationship with your Creator.

Ultimately, self-empowerment is both a personal commitment and a sacred responsibility. As we align with our inner truth and express divine qualities such as love, wisdom, compassion, courage, and creativity through daily action, we become living examples of what is possible. One empowered individual inspires another, and together we cultivate a collective consciousness capable of transforming the world. When we choose to live from this inner guidance, we do not merely change our own lives—we become a beacon of light for humanity.

Empower Your Life with the Ripple Effect of Gratitude

December 11, 2025 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

The end of the year is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on all the experiences we’ve lived. Many of them were truly good, making it easy to feel grateful. Others were more challenging, and gratitude may not come as naturally. Yet, when we look deeper, even those difficult moments played a role in shaping us. They invited us to grow—becoming more patient, accepting, forgiving, compassionate, kind, trusting, and loving.

I invite you to reflect on the major events in your life this year and consider how each one helped you become a better version of yourself. It’s like a metamorphosis taking place within us—sometimes subtle, sometimes profound.

We may not recognize these changes right away; it often takes time to see how they shaped us for the better. What matters most is finding a reason to be grateful for each experience. Every moment brought a gift—some obvious, others hidden—requiring us to dig a little deeper to uncover the gold.

Among the many benefits you gain from cultivating an attitude of gratitude are:

Helps you remain positive: Every time you choose to focus on gratitude, your energy shifts toward your victories. This mindset naturally attracts more positive experiences into your life.

Unlocks your joy: Joy becomes more accessible when you consciously reflect on the many things you are grateful for. Gratitude allows your heart to open and feel joy more deeply and consistently.

Boosts mental and emotional well-being: The energy of a grateful heart acts as a catalyst for positive mental and emotional health. It lifts you up, making you feel more optimistic, happy, and enthusiastic—key ingredients for a fulfilled and vibrant life.

Supports a healthier life: Research shows that gratitude reduces stress hormones (like cortisol), releases feel-good chemicals (dopamine and serotonin), improves sleep, strengthens immunity, lowers blood pressure, and builds resilience—leading to better emotional balance and overall physical well-being.

Creates a ripple effect on others: Your gratitude radiates outward. When you carry a thankful heart, you naturally uplift those around you. This positive influence becomes a beautiful way to contribute to others’ happiness and serve as an inspiring role model.

Enhances your self-esteem: Embracing gratitude strengthens your confidence by shifting your focus from what you lack to what you already possess. It reminds you of your strengths, your progress, and the value you continuously bring to the world.

Deepens one’s devotion: Gratitude opens the heart, helping us trust more deeply in a generous God who continually watches over us and provides for our every need.

In summary, gratitude transforms your life. It keeps you positive, sparks joy, boosts mental and physical well-being, and even uplifts those around you. By focusing on what you have and your personal growth, gratitude strengthens your confidence and opens the door to a happier, more empowered you.

Kindness, the Way to a Successful Life

November 14, 2025 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

“Three things are important in human life: the first is to be kind, the second is to be kind, and the third is to be kind.” ~ Henry James

This quote reminds us that kindness is one of the most essential qualities for living a successful and fulfilling life. When we stop to examine why we don’t always act kindly, several reasons may surface. Sometimes we move through life on autopilot, acting out of habit without pausing to reflect. We may be influenced by the behavior of family members or the people around us, simply following the crowd. Many of our patterns were learned in childhood and continue to shape how we respond today.

Peer pressure can also lead us to seek approval or try to fit in, even when it conflicts with our values. At times, we may lack the motivation to look inward and do the work required to change behaviors that no longer serve us. And occasionally, we feel a disconnect between who we want to be and how we show up in the moment.

The encouraging news is that every one of these reasons has a corresponding solution. Let us examine them individually.

Out of habit: The solution is to stay present, observe ourselves, and in that very moment choose to shift into kind behavior. We can turn this around by affirming: “I live in the present and observe myself to ensure I am kind at all times.”
External influence: How often do we act based on the behavior of family members or the people around us? The key is to remain true to our highest moral principles and choose actions that bring peace and happiness to ourselves and others.
Learned behavior: The good news is that any behavior can be unlearned. We must be willing to practice healthy new habits that support our well-being and the well-being of others. This requires letting go of unhealthy childhood patterns and past mistakes, and courageously embracing a healthier, more empowered way of living.
Peer pressure: In an effort to belong, we may at times give in to actions that compromise our integrity and the well-being of others. The solution is to strengthen our resolve, believe in ourselves, and trust our innate capacity to be wise and grounded. We must continually cultivate self-worth and self-assurance.
Reluctance to look within: This may be one of the most important choices we face—the willingness to look within, even if we fear what we might find. In truth, introspection reveals what needs our attention so we can make meaningful changes and embody a consistent attitude of kindness.
Congruency: In my coaching practice, I often see a mismatch between how someone believes they are behaving and what is actually occurring. For example, a person may say they treat everyone with respect and kindness, yet their actions tell a different story. We must commit to full integrity—being impeccable and walking our talk. If we say we treat others with kindness, then our thoughts, words, and actions must be in complete alignment.

Reflection
For each of us, living a successful life requires a genuine willingness to make meaningful changes and a sincere intention to act with kindness—in our actions, our speech, and our thoughts—at all times. We cannot afford to neglect this commitment, because every moment matters in our collective effort to elevate the consciousness of humanity. We cannot wait for someone else to take the lead. Each one of us carries the responsibility to create a better world, and we do so through the simple yet powerful choice to be kind to one another.

Climbing Life’s Mountains

October 12, 2025 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

We all face moments in life that feel like standing at the base of a mountain — the task ahead looks daunting, and we wonder how we’ll ever make it to the top. Yet, with patience, intention, and faith, even the tallest mountains can be climbed one step at a time.

Recently, I was scheduled to help wash dishes in the kitchen of the community where I live. That evening, we happened to have a large group of visitors attending a program at our retreat center. When I walked into the kitchen, I was met with a mountain of pots, pans, and dishes.

Right then and there, I set an intention: to take it one minute at a time and give it my very best. As I began washing each piece, little by little, a sense of hope arose within me. I realized that I could complete the task — even if it took a while.

There were many other souls working on different tasks, and I felt I wasn’t alone as I watched everyone giving their best. A couple of hours later, when the mountain of dishes had finally disappeared and we were finishing up the details, I joked that it felt like climbing a mountain — and after all, we had reached the top without hesitation or complaints.

Then I added, “Isn’t it the same in real life? When we’re faced with challenges, it can feel like we’re climbing a mountain — unsure if we’ll ever reach the top, see the view, or find the solutions we’re looking for.”

Each of us has certainly climbed our own mountains. We’ve achieved goals, completed projects, overcome challenges, and stayed focused as we move forward in life. All of it has been done one step at a time — and when we look back, we feel that deep sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes from striving toward our highest potential.

Five Ways to Climb Life’s Mountains

As I reflect on the best way to climb the mountains in our lives, here are some key points to consider:

Stay focused. This is vital so you can direct all your energy toward completing your task instead of scattering it in different directions. Your energy carries consciousness, and once you set an intention in a single direction, it will continue to flow there.
Take action. Seek divine guidance and be sure to keep moving forward, taking steady steps toward the solution rather than dwelling on the problem. As your focus shifts toward the solution, life begins to open doors you didn’t know existed.
Remain positive. Watch your thoughts carefully. If your mind starts pointing out the negatives or tempting you to dwell on what’s wrong, gently redirect it and affirm your success instead.
Connect with others who support you. Surround yourself with people who are going through or have gone through similar experiences, or find a mentor or coach who can guide you toward the right solutions.
Trust in your divine power. Remember that you were born endowed with divine potential. To embrace it, believe in yourself — in your talents, abilities, and in the loving guidance of a higher power that wants to see you thrive in every area of your life.

When we approach life this way — with focus, faith, and steady effort — every mountain becomes climbable. And once we reach the top, we realize that the view was worth every single step.

Reflection

What mountain are you climbing today? Take a moment to set your intention, breathe deeply, and remember that every step you take — no matter how small — is bringing you closer to the summit.

Uncover Your Glorious Being

September 4, 2025 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

While preparing the first episode of my new podcast show, “Uncover Your Glorious Being,” I thought of the many individuals who have touched my life in meaningful ways—mentors, family members, colleagues, and friends. Each of them, in their own unique way, inspired me to reach higher and pursue my greatest potential, to embrace myself as the Glorious Being I am, and share these lessons with others.

I published my first “Love in Action” newsletter in April 2004, over 21 years ago. Every month since then, God has inspired me to share uplifting messages with others. Now, I’m excited to announce that I’ll be bringing each of those blogs to a new platform by sharing them weekly as podcasts.

I chose the title “Uncover Your Glorious Being” for my podcast, the same as my book published in 2015, because it encourages us to release any barriers or false beliefs that conceal our divine essence. Every blog I’ve written since 2004 (257 issues), serves as a source of inspiration to become a better version of ourselves, one day at a time.

I can’t emphasize enough how valuable it is to welcome mentors, books, videos, audios, and teachings of truth into our lives to help break free from limiting beliefs about ourselves and others. Every mentor, teacher, book, and source of inspiration I’ve embraced has supported me in uncovering my Glorious Being, guiding me from ignorance to knowledge of divine truth, really to remember my essence. Of course, my journey continues each day, fueled by determination, dedication, and faith as I move toward Self-Realization.

This is precisely why I’m launching my new podcast. It’s my way of giving back for all the blessings I’ve received and to help others by sharing the deep, transformative teachings and insights that have shaped me over the years and helped me grow into who I am today.

I am deeply grateful for the expert guidance of Adriana Bacigalupo (Instagram: @adriana.bacigalupo), an exceptional marketer who set up every detail of my podcast and patiently taught me how to manage it myself with wisdom and clarity.

It is with great joy that I share my first podcast episode, “10 Principles to Cultivate and Maintain Purity of Heart.” Click here to listen on Spotify—and please subscribe and leave a review. Your support helps others discover the show.

Throughout the episodes of my podcast, I’ll encourage you to be mindful of your thoughts, words, and actions, as they shape your reality. I’ll invite you to notice whenever you slip out of alignment with the qualities of your Glorious Being—such as falling into fear, judgment, guilt, blame, or self-pity. Each episode will remind you to gently bring your attention back to your true essence: love, peace, joy, and kindness. With this awareness and these small shifts, you’ll cultivate a healthier self-image and succeed in “Uncovering Your Glorious Being.”

How to Help those Who are suffering

August 11, 2025 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

It would be ideal if there were a perfect formula for helping those who are suffering, but no single solution fits every situation.

Each person’s circumstances are unique, shaped by the many aspects of their life. We’ve all faced our own trials—whether it was a difficult divorce, loss of a loved one, illness, financial struggles, emotional challenges, or strained relationships—and if we reflect on those times, there was always someone who supported us through them.

Reflecting on the ways I’ve received support over the years, I’d like to share some experiences that may inspire you with ideas for helping others who are suffering:

Financial support. There have been several times in my life when I received financial help, including a situation where someone asked a friend to assist me. That friend went so far as to create a marketing position at his company just to provide me with a job.

Emotional support. I’ve had the support of many teachers, mentors, coaches, and friends during some of my most challenging times, and their guidance truly helped me transform my life.

Family support. I will always be deeply thankful for my siblings, who were like angels, supporting me through the challenging years after losing my mother at age six and facing an unkind stepmother.

Being an example. There are many people in my life whom I have observed closely with the intention of following their example of living a life of high ideals, kindness, integrity, and faith. They include friends, family members, mentors, heroes of history and saints. They have impacted my life in very profound positive ways.

Expressing Compassion. There have been also people in my life from whom I felt a deep sense of compassion, kindness and humanity in the way they treated me when I was going through difficult times. In those moments, I felt they care about me and their acts of kindness helped me to heal.

Affirming Faith. There were also people in my life whose unwavering faith and positive outlook inspired me not to give up and to keep moving forward. They served as pillars of hope for me.

Prayer. Perhaps the most powerful way to support others is though prayer. It is such a reassuring feeling when someone says to you. “I am praying for you.” You know that they care and they are entrusting the challenge to a Higher Power who will can help.

I am truly thankful for all the ways I have been shown love, support, and care, and for the reminders that I can offer the same kindness to others. Each act of kindness, encouragement, and compassion I’ve received has not only helped me through difficult times but has also served as a powerful example of how we can uplift and guide one another. This gratitude inspires me to show the same love and support to those around me, knowing that small gestures can have a profound impact on someone’s life.

The Importance of Cultivating Consistency and Persistence

July 4, 2025 by Gloria Ramirez Leave a Comment

To read this month’s Love in Action Newsletter, click here

Reflecting on these two essential principles, I recognize how foundational they have been to my personal and spiritual growth. For many years, prior to truly embracing responsibility for my life, I was consistent at blaming and playing victim, which led to ups and downs that felt like a roller coaster. I sought happiness externally, until I made the conscious choice to pursue support from mentors and invest in personal development through teachings and classes.

Looking back on my journey, I clearly see that consistency and persistency were essential for overcoming the many challenges that I faced, beginning at the age of six when I lost my mother to leukemia and my father remarried someone who was truly cruel to my siblings and me. It took a lot of persistence to finally reach a place of forgiveness for her, my father and many others towards whom I had held resentment.

I am certain that you, too, have faced and overcome many trials and understand first hand the value of consistency and persistence. It is essential to acknowledge our efforts and celebrate our achievements. As we moved through our tribulations, we had to draw on our inner strength to make it through the darkness and come to the end of the tunnel to see the light of triumph. It is time to congratulate ourselves for our determination and perseverance.

The true value of nurturing consistency and persistence lies in experiencing the positive changes they bring and seeing how they transform our lives. This is why Jesus said “Be thou transformed the renewing of your mind.” My own life has been transformed because my willingness to forgive, let go of the tendency to blame or see myself as a victim, strengthened my faith, and chosen not to criticize myself and others. Through these shifts, I have learned to be more loving, kind, patient, generous, accepting, and ultimately, a better person.

Here are some important practices to cultivate consistency and persistence:

Take action. Be proactive and move forward towards your plans or projects with confidence and faith.
Stay focused. Go for the solution and stay on track.
Finish what you start. Be willing to see your projects completed and develop a plan of action until completion.
Stay positive. Be diligent with the quality of your thoughts and language. Make sure that they are always positive.
Cultivate inner growth. Let go of habits that hold you back and adopt practices that expand your consciousness.
Focus on gratitude. Every day think or write at least 10 things, people, experiences that you are grateful for.
Ask for divine guidance. Strengthen your faith and connection by remaining mindful of the divine throughout your day and engaging in regular prayer.
Seek help. Embrace support from others including professionals, coaches, mentors, etc.

Consistency and persistence are key to achieving meaningful growth and long-term success. Consistency means showing up regularly and taking small, steady actions, while persistence is the ability to keep going despite obstacles or setbacks. Together, they build discipline, resilience, and confidence, helping you stay committed to your goals and ultimately see lasting results.
