Time Flies, so Remember to Enjoy It

Life moves so quickly! Too quickly sometimes. Just this past Thursday marked nine years since my grandpa has been gone. It really makes you realize that you don't have long before you're out of time. We need to learn to slow down in life, to take in the sights, to enjoy the time that we spend with our family and friends before it's gone.

When my family took a trip to Hawai'i, we were looking at woodwork done of sea turtles. The guys selling them told us the meaning of the sea turtle; long life, wisdom, and to just slow down. We should all strive to be more like the sea turtle. Slow down in life, and take the time to enjoy and immerse yourself in the world's surroundings while you have the chance.

Nowadays, so much emphasis is put on hustling and hustling, and we never really take the time to enjoy ourselves or our lives. The modern world is heavily focused on having everything now and at the tip of your fingers that it's easy to lose sight of what's truly important. The best advice I can give to people is to get off of your phone. I understand that things come up sometimes and you have to answer people, but all of the mindless scrolling through social media is completely unnecessary. 

You can set aside time for social media. Schedule time, or set a limit for yourself. Most smartphones have limits in the settings that you can go in and set for apps like TikTok, Facebook or Instagram. You can be away from other people's lives for a few minutes while you're eating, or spending time with family and friends. Immerse yourself in your life! Don't miss out because you were busy watching someone else's.

The bottom line is, life will go on, whether or not you're taking the time to enjoy it, which means that you should be living life to the fullest and embracing all of the goodness that life has to offer. After all, there is so much joy in life that it would be a shame to let it pass us by. So, just remember to stop to enjoy the view every once in awhile; life has so many incredible things to show you.

Let Go of the Past and Embrace Change

Leave the past in the past! You won’t progress in life if you’re dragging old habits around with you. If you keep trying the same thing over and over again, and you’re not getting the results that you want, maybe it’s time to try something new. T hink of it like diet and exercise. Some diets won't work for you, just like some exercises work better for other people than they will for you. It’s all about figuring out what works, rather than doing the same old thing and becoming disappointed every time you don’t get results. In order to move forward in your life, you need to learn to embrace change. Sometimes, you can get so caught up in sticking with the things that you know, that you wind up afraid of venturing out of your comfort zone. It’s easy to stay with what’s familiar, but you have to learn to let go of familiarity and let yourself embrace the new and the unknown. You need to allow yourself to be open to new ideas and new ways of thinking. You're stuck where you are righ...

Don't Allow Your Fears To Control Your Life

Everyone has something that they are afraid of—you, me, everyone! It’s not shameful to have these fears, but you shouldn’t allow them to take precedent over your life. Things only have power over you because you give them that power. If your fears are starting to hold you back from living the life that you want, then you need to rethink how you view those fears and learn to break past them in order to move on. Your limitations are only limitations because you allow them to be. You are capable of so much more than you give yourself credit for, so don’t allow yourself to be brought down by your fears just because you’re worried that you won’t be able to overcome them. You can do anything that you put your mind to, and if that involves overcoming your fears, then you will be able to do just that! When you choose to avoid your fears and not face them, you open yourself up to even more fear, as well as limitations on your abilities. Facing your fears allows you to break free of the restrict...

Fire It Up Friday

Happy Friday! Y'all know what time it is! It's that time of the week where we list the things that we look forward to; it's Fire It Up Friday! There is so much in life to look forward to, so let's help each other out by naming the things that we're excited for. I'll start us off by saying that I'm excited to go to the beach tomorrow. Beach time is always a good time. I'm gonna have ice cream for lunch and hopefully hit plenty of waves! Life gives us so much to hope for; it's hard to see the bad when you're so focused on all of the good things headed your way. There's always something to be excited for, even if it's not your next concert or your next beach day; it can be as simple as waking up tomorrow morning to spend a relaxing day at home or being excited for your next cup of coffee.
