What Is for You Won’t Miss You, Right?

Growing up, I always thought I was looking at the bigger picture. I could have sworn every move I made was for the grand picture I had in my head, the life I was so certain was for me.

Yet, as we grow and change, who we are grows and changes. The things we need change, the person we become change, the life situations we live through change who we are inside and out. Some of them good and some of them bad, some of them incredible and some them true breaking points.

I have no explaination for hardships because in my eyes no one's heart should feel the pain of loss, grief, unforgiving illness, abandonment, or anything else.

But what I have learned, is that many times life places us on paths and through decisions that shape our future and the life we live, the person we become, and far more.

I fully believe that what is for me won't miss me. Whether it be small steps or great leaps, I truly believe that what is for me will not miss me. It can be hard to believe, and we don't all have to, but for myself I choose to.

I try to work with the universe not against it. I try to envision the greater picture as the pieces all put together, and work hard along the way to create something I'm proud of, with faith that life will surround me with opportunities to create that.

I try to open my mind, body, and ideas to the notion that good things are all around us. That if I look for the good, I will always find it. That if I love myself and those around me the universe will indeed give it back.

Instead of focusing on a certain role, school, or company, I expanded my views to not corner myself into one thing. For instance, job rejections, school rejections, and more do not create failure and it doesn't mean it wasn't for you, but maybe at this time in your life it wasn't what you needed.

I used to get so excited about everything that I was almost positive that it was always the right time for anything and if I put my mind to it, it would always happen, I could always make it work. Partially true, yet partially untrue.

Now, still excited but more at ease. Finally, more at peace with the rhythm of life, and the ways in which it works.

I'm thankful for the opportunities life brings me, and the world we live in even at the hardest of times. I'm thankful for every piece of us that makes us unique, in every aspect. Sending all of the love and support I have to everyone reading, may the rest of December bring you nothing but good news, belly laughs, and genuine love.
