5 things to remember at all times!
1. You are only human
Sometimes in this world you are going to get overwhelmed. You are going to have thirty people asking you for favors as you hold a screaming baby and the spaghetti boils over. You can not let those moments diminish you or defeat you. You are only a person, and being a person you have needs and cares that require attention. It is nowhere near wrong to help people and be available, but do not get so busy filling others cups that yours runs dry. Remember, humans have flaws and cannot always be perfect. Do not think that means you are less or not worthy. You are only human.
2. Not everyone will be your fan
In this life you will try things and test your limits and you will, God willing, be successful. That being said, it does not mean everyone will be happy or support you, and that is OK. You do not need everyone in the world to love you and support you but you do need to go out there and try. Enter the pie in the county fair, apply for that job, do not be afraid. There will always be people who doubt you and make you feel like you are not enough. Do not listen. Stand firm and be yourself.
3. Stay healthy
We all know that eating cauliflower and going to the gym is not always fun but it needs to happen. This life is like a full schedule and you need to keep going. Stay healthy so you can keep running this race we call life. Walk at night with your friends, switch that piece of pizza for an apple, and remember water is your friend. You need to filter the most joy and fulfillment you can out of this life, do not waste vital time being unhealthy.
4. Hug your friends and family
In this world you have been blessed with certain people who will love you and push you toward the goals you have in mind. Do not take those people for granted. You are your loved ones greatest joy and they want so much for you. Hug them, send them a letter, pray for them, and show them how much you love them. Life is a limited time offer, make sure the ones you love know it without a doubt in their mind.
5. You are loved more than you will ever know
John 3:16 tells us that God so loved the world that he gave up his only son. Psalm 139:14 says that humans are fearfully and wonderfully made. The God of the universe made you, loves you, and has the best plan for your life. The love he has for you is inevitable and undeniable. If you feel like no one else cares and you have no where to turn, God is there. He seeks you out daily and wants to have a deep relationship with you. So when you feel like all the love in the world is taken and no one loves you remember this, the Holy God of the universe loves you.
These five steps may seem simple, but in the midst of chaos and worry remember these five things, breathe in and out, and rock this life!
