So, this week, as it has been filled with the business of what I like to lovingly call my life, I have started to understand the importance of taking a step back from everything and just breathing it all in. I have been so focused on school and interviews and everything that I'm longing to have happen in my life, that I haven't taken ten minutes to just step back and take in all the wonderful moments I'm getting to experience everyday. But isn't that what this life seems to turn into? How often have we taken a step back to JUST BREATHE, just breathe it all in and enjoy the small things.
I have been able to just slowly but surely add small enjoyable things to my list of things I love. My list of things to enjoy and my list of things that fulfill my heart. How important are those things to you instead of being "successful". And by successful, I'm referring to the world's view of successful. I've learned just this week alone, that success in my life will not be measured by how much money I make or how great my grades are, but how happy and fulfilled I am in my life.
Like one of my favorite people on this weirdly small planet Bri says, you only have this one life and these moments. It's not about one moment in your life, but all of the moments. Enjoying every single one. No matter what health problems or what everyday struggles you're going through. Find the beauty in the small things and joy in everything.
