Live Your Best Life!

Every single morning, I start the day with a smile on my face and a vigor for life that seems unbending... I remember that this day will get me to the next day and the next, and with each I am one step closer to where I want to be. Every SINGLE DAY, something happens and I have to recheck my attitude, put that smile back on my face and take another step. Life is about living in the now, making the best out of today, BUT WITH YOUR FUTURE IN MIND.

If you follow that one bit of advice, you will be absolutely happy you did. That capitalized clause will be the determiner of you waking up tomorrow with or without regrets.

This doesn't mean to work your life away, because your job is not who you are... it is WHAT YOU DO! Please never forget that. It means enjoy the now and let go of the baggage that is holding you back... because in a month, year, five years... it will not matter at all. That baggage is what is going to hold you back. Let go of the baggage that you can, and accept the baggage that will forever be lugging on your back. If you are grateful for the life you have, and work with what you have, good things will come, I promise.

I have been struggling since I graduated from college, this transition... it was just difficult for me. I was not ready to grow up and be thrown into the wolves, and I made a ton of mistakes that I really let weigh me down. For an entire 6 months, I pined over a guy who I really shouldn't have been with, I wasted 6 months worrying about that instead of worrying about myself.

I made mistakes that I dwelled on, I worried constantly instead of really fixing the problems. One day I woke up and I said, why am I worrying about what I cannot change... I am going to work on what I can, and enjoy all of the wonderful things in my life that I have.

Let go of the baggage... man, it is hard but when you finally do... you can gracefully dance through life.

I still have anxiety, I still worry once in a while, but I am working on healthier ways to cope with my anxieties, like exercising and breathing exercises. It is very important to understand your body and how you handle stress.

The next step in my journey through life will be to find an apartment; I would love to live with a roommate that shares my interests. For a few months I am going to be saving every penny, I constantly fall off this wagon, but this blog helps me to remember the important things in life. I am going to continue to keep close relationships with my friends, tutoring, and planning on how I can get to where I want to be.

Take a few seconds to think about what you are doing today, and what you want to be doing tomorrow and work on that ever day. You will be happy you did.
