Enjoy the Little Things.

There are a lot of people my age who saw their life completely different from when they were kids growing up, I will admit I am one of those people. Having kids, being married and having a career by this age was what I saw and that isn't the case. I went to school thinking I wanted to be a teacher, a counselor, then a person trainer. I've changed my mind a million times and ended up with a general studies degree and not using it. Determined to figure it out I looked into personal training programs, tried other jobs just anything I thought might filled my life and make my future (what I thought) would be better. I was hard on myself the more and more I was letting days just pass by and I still, didn't have the career, or married with kids at the age of 26. I was constantly surrounded by friends that had kids, or had bigger dreams than I could imagine and some in happy relationships. I now realize I've tried so hard to be in control of my future and my life that I wasn't able to enjoy it. I was always finding myself disappointed and unable to fulfill my life with the type of happiness I saw others had, and that was what I based mine on. I thought I should've had more by now, Learning that making the best of everyday as best as you can is where I need to be in my life. I've taken up reading, hikes, photography and of course blogging all that I enjoy. I will always want more for myself and when I find out what that is I will strive for it, but in the meantime I will enjoy my life day to day and make more time for people that are important to me, working hard, and taking time for myself. Don't be in such a rush to figure everything out. Embrace your moment and life will and can surprise you.
