Living in The Moment & Accepting the Gift

Its incredible how one person's comment can get your mind thinking about a world of other things, a chain reaction per say. I've come to a realization and it's not one I particularly like, in the midst of our busy lives, stress, problems, and overall worlds, how often do we completely miss what's right in front of our faces in the current moment? I feel like we spend so much time worried about what's gone wrong in the past and how that could affect our future, or what may or may not happen in the future that we can completely miss the amazing moments right in the present. Our "present" time is called the "present" for a reason, because its a gift and we never know how many more "presents" we have left to open. Each day, each moment, they are gifts, not givens. We aren't required or promised another day, were only promised and lucky enough to have the day we were gifted right now. What we do with that gift is up to us, but what I encourage you to do, live in the moment. If you want something go for it, if you love someone tell them, and mean it with all your heart because you never know when it could be your last chance. A very inspiring person told me that people are going to do what their going to do, and we can't control that or them. What we can control is every act of our own stories, every line of how we speak in response, every action put forth. Lets make those words and actions count, lets make them not only turn our story into a fairytale, but make the page in someone else's story brighten. Lets live in the moment, you can't change the past, you can only learn from it and you can't predict the future, only build and prepare for it. Don't miss the little things life has to offer, or in the end you'll miss the things that life is worth living for.

 I feel there is something not talked about enough, everyone knows the feeling of failure. We all make mistakes, comes with being human, we all cope with that. How though do we cope when unplanned mistakes take place, I know your wondering what on earth I mean by this, most mistakes are unplanned… I am referring to the mistakes, the trials that occur even when the “rules” are followed, those that incur even when perhaps we have done everything right that is within in our power. This takes a different type of coping, paired with an even greater understanding and matched with yet a greater perspective. In order to cope and heal from these unplanned mistakes we need to evaluate what was within our control and what was genuinely not. Often times when things go wrong we immediately blame and criticize ourselves because let’s be real, that is much easier than accepting the unknown and accepting the true lack of control we had over the situation. It is facing this fact though that allows for

Defining Life Through Choices

 Life is a crazy thing, what's crazier is how we each define the course we take through it. Often times we categorize our lives by the bigger more obvious choices, for instance taking a job, going back to school, getting married, having children etc. If we created a road map of our lives on paper it would likely consist of big landmark choices. Is it truly those big choices however that sum up our lives? Is it really those land mark sized choices that got us where we are today and propel us further into the future? I'd like to argue that they are not. Every day, every moment we are faced with choices, big and small choices. Perhaps the most seemingly miniscule choices are in fact the most monumental. When you start your day, what thoughts do you allow into your head? How do you nurture your mind, body and soul when you rise and when you begin to settle down for the day? How do you choose to interact with those around you, how do you speak to them? How do you speak to yourself,

Write Your Story

 It’s been over a year since I have last written and I can honestly say it has been quite the year. Writing is an outlet unlike any other, it creates doors to inspire, uplift and change. Perhaps the lives of others may change by the words you place on paper, however I believe the real change happens in the heart of the author. Whether it be fiction or nonfiction or a mix of both, putting the words on paper in a way that betters those around us and potentially those we will never meet aside from words meeting eyes, that changes you. It allows healing, growth, and a change of perspective on life. If there is one thing I have taken from the last year, it is that we are all the author of our own stories, we all have tales dying to be told inside of us, fighting to be born into paper. There is nothing in life that a change in perspective and a plan cannot conquer, we are only as limited as the limits we put on ourselves. Change stands directly in front of all of us, the question is not if i
