Life is for living
So often it seems like life is full of appointments, bills and not enough hours of sleep. However, I believe that it’s up to us to break the cycles. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worthwhile.
I’ve come to learn there isn’t a perfect time to experience life’s greatest moments. All of the most memorable instances come from glimpses of faith in which we decide to let go and just l i v e. Of course, it’s in our nature to analyze and weigh our options, but when push comes to shove, do we allow ourselves to enjoy the opportunities that are presented to us?
I’m guilty of worrying about my future, finances, and fear. However, I know in my heart I am always cared for. I know I am always looked after with the best of intentions. Because of this knowledge I also know that no matter how stressful times are, I will be okay. I’ve learned to embrace life a heck of a lot more in the last 10 years than I ever thought I would. A worrier by nature, I would never be one to travel alone, speak up for myself or be spontaneous. I can honestly say thanks to an adventurous husband and a faithful sister I feel safe making those decisions. I’ve dated my husband through a long distance relationship, lived in New Zealand for 2 months alone and have boarded a plane with no more than a couple of weeks notice. My bills and worries are always waiting for me when I get home but I handle them one day at a time. I’d rather experience life than hope for those moments. I’d rather budget each month with what I need than miss out on opportunities that may never come again. I’m so grateful for the people in my life that are constant inspirations and always remind me of what’s truly important. I’ve had some pretty amazing moments in my 27 years and I can’t wait to experience even more.
