Be Grateful for the Now

I recently ran across a new Instagram trend that states, “Sometimes you are so focused on the future, that you don’t realize you are in the middle of exactly what you used to pray for.” It kind of stopped me in my tracks, well my scrolling. Like many of you, I am my most harsh critic. I can do ten things perfectly, but dwell on the one thing that wasn’t perfect.

However, we also need to take a step back and think about where we are and how far we have already come. I know that when I stop myself from going down that spiral and realize what I’ve actually accomplished; I am proud of myself. I realize that I AM exactly where I wanted to be back when this was my goal.

This is a reminder to stop and smell the roses that you’ve planted. You planted this manifestation that you are now living when you decided where you were wasn’t where you wanted to stay. Just because it’s not the perfect life you envision for yourself now; doesn’t mean it isn’t exactly where you wanted and/or need to be to get to your goal.

Be kind to yourself! Take those rest days that your body so desperately needs. Stop the hustle and enjoy your life. Respect the decisions you made in the past to get yourself where you are in this moment. Understand that everything you go through happens for a reason. Know that Everything Always Works Out For You!
