Hi, everyone! ^^ My very first post will be about...making the decision to choose a life that will make you happy and fulfilled!
This quote is very near and dear to my heart (and makes me want to cry) because so many people these days are stuck in a job they dread going to on a daily basis that drains them of any energy, life, and time to do the things they wished they had the time to do. It makes me sad to see them wasting away the only life they have just existing, rather than living, because they chose or were forced to choose a job due to its pay, not because of their love for it. I see this happen in my personal life everyday, and I've promised myself that I'm never going to end up in the same position and instead choose to do something that makes me happy and has a special significance to me.
When it comes time for you to make that decision, think about something that you've got a passion for, something you could do everyday and not tire of. Don't choose a career based on how much it pays, but on how much you love it and if you can envision yourself doing it, regardless of what anyone says. And if you're in this very same spot right now, and you have a job that doesn't make you happy, then take the time to reconsider things and put a lot of thought into going down another path...one that makes you feel happy.
This also goes for finding a hobby to pick up or continue and taking the time each day to work on it, even if it's just for a couple of minutes at a time. It's important for everyone to slow down every once in a while to smell the roses, because once you look back, you'll wonder if the time you've spent was really worth it. And remember, the origin of your happiness should come from yourself, from within, and not depend on other people. They should be the leaves of your tree, not its roots. If you've got something that makes you excited, that you love doing, and which your heart's in, then go for it! You only have one life...so make it what you want it to be! <3
I hope you all enjoyed my inspiration for the day! I thought that it would be a great topic because it's something I feel so strongly about and that is affecting the lives of so many people. Please share your thoughts and feelings on this subject! If there's any topic you would like me to talk about or have any ideas for, please feel free to leave me a comment, or send me an email! ^^
Love,
Adriana <3
