Lately I’ve been feeling like a total loser. My 2018 year so far has been a rocky one. It’s been fun and I’ve had a lot of really great opportunities presented to me, but it’s also been a little chaotic. A good chaotic though. Yes, I’ve been losing out on a lot of sleep, I haven’t been making my physical health a priority, and I haven’t had the opportunity to participate in activities that serve me for the greater good, but I have been undergoing this unnecessary stress for a reason. There is a really good reason behind my madness people, and here’s what that reason is.
I recently stumbled upon a quote that I just can’t get out of my mind.
“You are only one decision away from a totally different life.”
The funny thing is, I’ve been feeling this way for the past year. I’ve been working really hard at building a life for myself. A life where I’m happy and I feel fulfilled with everything that I do. A life where every decision that I make is for the benefit of MY future. Every day I wake up and I tell myself, whatever decisions I make today are the ones that are going to lead me to a more fulfilled life. I truly believe that the life we all choose to live is a result of the types of decisions that we make. This quote literally put all my thoughts, feelings, and actions from the past year, and from the beginning of this year, into 11 perfect little words.
“I am only one decision away from a totally different life.”
I will carry this quote in my heart from this day moving forward. It will serve me as a daily reminder that, even though my life does not look the way I want it to right now, I can’t every give up, because every day I am getting closer to living the life I have always dreamed of. And the closer I get to living the life I have always dreamed of, the more obstacles I run into. And by obstacles, I mean the good for nothing trolls who love to bring other people down because their life is a mess and they can’t seem to get any control over it. [Read more…]
Have you ever had one of those days where you literally have nothing to do? These days usually look like look you waking up in the morning, with nothing of importance to do on the agenda, and for some odd reason you can’t find anything to do with all that free time. Well, I’ve had plenty of days like that. In fact, I’m a little embarrassed (not really) to admit that I have had weeks like that. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes days and weeks where you have no responsibilities to attend to at all, can be some of the best days and weeks you will ever have!
Valentine’s Day is here! If you’re anything like me and you don’t have a Valentine, or you don’t have anything romantic planed, have no worries. First, I’ve never had a Valentine and I think I turned out pretty good! So, there isn’t some secret to achieving and maintaining a successful love life hidden on this day of love. Second, you don’t have to plan anything romantic, just spread the love and appreciation you have for those who mean the most to you.
I can’t believe we’re already three days into the new year. It feels so unreal to me right now. I mean clearly, we just entered a new year and there are new adventures waiting for us up ahead. However, at the same time I feel like I’m still living the last couple of days in last year, reflecting on how far I’ve come.
We’re almost there! With each passing day we are getting closer and closer to Christmas! I love that this time of year really promotes the idea of giving more than it does receiving, and that we should all embrace and spread love. That’s what makes Christmas such a fun and enjoyable holiday for me. Not necessarily the presents or the food (though those are some major gingerbread points for the holiday!).
