I don't know about you, but I always get into these mindsets where I am thinking of what is to come and I get hung up on it. I forget that today is happening and I start to plan what my future will be. Honestly, a large percentage of my life has become about deciding my future; the college I will go to, the degree I will get, what job to get, and etc. I rarely sit back and revel at where I am now versus where I was a six months ago, a year, or longer ago. I forget to take the time and appreciate all that life has taught me and how it has forced me to grow. I would definitely not be where I am now and who I am now without having gone through all of what life has thrown at me.

Don't be so hard on yourself for not having it together all the time, for not knowing all the answers. You don't always face to be sure who you are, otherwise there'd be nothing to discover. You don't always have to know where you are headed or have a clear vision of the bigger picture. Sometimes taking one tiny step at a time is more than enough. Wander, be unsure when it's natural to be. We're all rushing around for now reason anyway.

I urge you to take a moment and look back at your life. The hurt, the drama, and the joy. How have you been shaped from it? What in life would you want to do over? What would you relive? I urge you to pay attention to those things and appreciate where you have been and focus less on where you're going because you'll get there regardless of if you constantly dwell on it or not. You will get there. So just stop thinking about your future for a minute and think about now.
