Feeling the urge to write this today as reminders to myself and I hope it strikes home with a few of you. :)
Life is NOT about being perfect. It's not about having everything everyone else has. It's not about being the fastest, nicest, richest, neatest.
Life IS about taking chances.
It's about failing and trying so many times that you don't think you can try one more time, but you get back up and do it again.
It's about doing the hard stuff that no one else wants to do.
It's about laughing so hard your cheeks and belly hurt. It's about crying so hard you can barely breathe.
It's uncomfortable and sometimes just downright frustrating.
It's about letting down your guard and experiencing the joy, and sometimes pain, that goes along with that.
It's about appreciating what you have and allowing yourself to feel joy when someone else gets what you so badly have strived for but have failed to achieve.
It's about realizing that your children will not always do what you have taught them, but at the end of the day, it makes you love them THAT much more because they push you to grow.
It's about loving your family and friends for who they are.
It's about seeing the faults in yourself, embracing them, laughing at them, growing from them, and NEVER letting them stop you from what you really want to do or who you really want to be.
Life is what you make of it. Embrace today. <3
