Taking it all in…

So many times it is easy to let life get in the way of any of your pursuits. Our wishes and dreams go by the wayside while we strive to survive real life in the pursuit of happiness. Tribulations come, in many forms, some small, some tragic, but usually, none too trivial to let go. (Because really, let the trivial go.) My mother likes to say, “Don’t sweat the petty stuff, and don’t pet the sweaty stuff.” Yeah, ew.

Sometime and place during your whirling dervish lives, I know mine is, stop. Just stand, breath and see. Hear. Smell. Maybe taste and certainly touch. Consider yourself and where you are compared to what you desire. Evaluate your place on your goal ladder. (Yeah, there’s such a thing.) Are you really trying to make the next rung? Are you self sabotaging?

There are excuses and there are reasons, legitimate ones, to get in the way. Rise above it. But overall, make the goal to assess your surroundings (physical and more) to not feel bad about being where you are but to appreciate where you are.

Happy Wednesday!
