 "It cannot be helped."

 The rain won't stop

Plans fall apart.

Life ignores your schedule.

Not everything is yours to control.

Not everything is yours to fix.

Acceptance is not surrender.

It is choosing peace over resistance."  

I Am Learning

 "I am learning everyday to allow the space between where I am and where I want to be, to inspire me and not terrify me." -Tracee Ellis Ross

 

Underated Life Advice

 Schedule your fun first.  The vacation. The dinner. The concert. The weekend trip. Put joy on the calendar before work fills it.  Most people work first, play with what's left.  There's never anything left. Book fun like meetings. Treat joy like obligation.  Happiness needs planning too.

Life is Amazing

 Life is amazing.  And then,

it's awful.  And then

it's amazing.

 And the awful it is 

ordinary and mundane and 

routine. Breathe in the amazing,

hold on through the awful.

and relax and exhale during the

ordinary.

 That's just living heartbreaking,

soul-healing, amazing, awful,

ordinary life.  And it's breathtakingly

beautiful.

 

 

 

A Beautiful Life

 

A beautiful life is not stumbled upon.

It is build.  It is chosen.  It is

nurtured over the years.  A beautiful life is made from the heart not the

head.  It is not one we can rationalize our way into, it's one that must be felt.  A beautiful life is not one that is immediately comfortable, but one grown through the acknowledgement of what is worth being uncomfortable for.  It is not one that is easy.  It is one that is worth it.
