Take It All In

The place you are right now

God circled on a map for you.

~Hāfez

Take It All In
We are going at such a fast pace most of the time that we rarely take the moments to stop and feel the full impact of where we are, what we are doing or who we are interacting with. In the hastiness of trying to accomplish so much, we numb ourselves to our daily interactions or just see certain accomplishments as a quick thing we were able to do and now on to the next thing! Not stopping to connect to what you are doing is cheating yourself out of having the full experience of life. Not being fully present in any given moment robs you of the true happiness and connection that you were meant to feel.  It's time to show up in all that you do and not only be present in the moment but take it all in. Let yourself feel connected to each second. By doing this you not only connect to the moment but to everything around you and you will walk away with a heart full of joy.  

One Thing at a Time

Between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out.  

~Italian Proverb

One Thing at a Time
Sometimes life hits us with so much at once that we don't know what to do or where to start. We can even get paralyzed by our list of to-do's and then become the opposite of productive. It is in these moments that we must tackle what we can first before we try and handle anything else. When you can accomplish the biggest task that is on your list, all of the other ones will fall right into place. Don't look at the entire list at once, just go one by one and feel the accomplishment of finishing each one. The more you can stay positive and feel yourself being productive, the more you will be. Remember, nothing is worth the stress ~ nothing.  Do what you can and do it to the best of your ability. And remember to have a great day while accomplishing all of your goals!

Having it All

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything 

they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.  

~Jim Carrey

Having it All
Lots of times we look at the lives of celebrities or really successful people and we envy their life, the cars they drive, the houses they own and the vacations they seem to endlessly take.  But how do we know they are really happy?  What if it's just "more stuff" that they have but just as big of a hole in their heart as everyone else?  What can fill that  space?  How about love!  How about filling your own life with hope, happiness and above all love for yourself, for those around you and for life in general.  Maybe that's the true key to having it all.  Maybe it's not about what you accumulate or how much you can stuff inside of your closets but how much love you can stuff in your heart.  Maybe just maybe love is the only things we need to feel whole, successful and truly happy.  Try it on, it just might be the perfect fit!
