I made 2 New Year’s resolutions this year: gratitude and acceptance.
My thinking is that flowing with the river is much easier than fighting against it. No, I don’t mean laying down and getting run over. I mean being okay with where life takes you.
When I think back, I recall where I “planned” to be at age 30 and I was not even close. But, I was happy. So it’s important as you live your life, to recognize that some things are simply not in your control. You will make decisions that lead you down different paths. Or you will avoid decisions which will lead you to a different place. The point is, it’s all okay. We’re granted a finite amount of time here. Try not to sweat the small stuff – because in the end – it’s the fun we had that counts.
