What's your priority these days? Are you living your life the way you want?
Sometimes I feel like I go to bed every night and all I can think about is how I'm not of any use or being as useful/efficient/helpful/hard-working as I need to be. Hmmm... actually, I'm pretty sure that's how I feel every night.
So I'm starting to think about all those beautiful sayings that tell you how to live the life you want:
"Be the change you want to see" - Ghandi
"We become what we want to be by consistently being what we want to become each day." - Hugh B. Brown
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” - Albert Einstein
"One Day at a Time" - A.A.
"I yam what I yam" - Popeye
How do you live your life? Is it in line with how you want to live your life?
I once had a bishop who would tell us, "How you're living your life today will help you predict what your life will look like six months from now." I thought that was smart.
I guess this means I need to get moving so I can start going to bed at night without so many regrets...

i sure do love you and i know you have a lot of life! doing freelance is kinda one of the hardest things i've done in a long time. mostly because i'm my own boss and i am in complete charge on how much a get done without anyone nagging me/encouraging me. i just try to judge myself on how much i'm learning. if i've learned a lot that day then i feel good. and if i didn't learn much then i look and see if i did "any good" that day... and well, if i didn't then i try to figure out how i can! i don't know if this is what you were looking for but i sure do love you and i hope to see you over one of these holiday break in the good old California Sun!!! xo
"i will make relationships the first priority and consumption the last."
Deepak Chopra
I think there are times I have allowed myself to get wrapped up in "stuff." Not just possessions, but drama and work and tv and things that took me away from my relationships. My relationship with God, my family, my friends, my husband and now my daughter. To me there is nothing more important that relationships and the people behind them. I don't allow myself to neglect those relationships anymore....at least I try not to.:)
Nope. Not doing it but this is a great reminder to live a more conscious life.
My personal mantra is "Love and Accept" which has worked pretty well. I just need to apply it more often.
I sometimes lay in bed with scolding myself that I didn't do enough... Visionaries are usually hard on themselves - just so much we want to do. I love these quotes, thank you for your words :) I feel encouraged!
