My ideal perfect day consists of me with a book, or a journal in my hands, sitting outside enjoying the breeze rushing through my hair. I would exist in a mere moment with words running through my mind or onto a page.

I wouldn't feel the need to be anywhere, but, just to be and to be with the ones closest to me. I would be content in the here and now.

Honestly, every day is not like this. Sometimes I question why and when I will reach the ideal day where I won't have a million things to do or to worry about.

Well, worry is not our friend. It creates a huge amount of uncertainty in your life when there doesn't need to be.

I often notice people questioning the things they are going through or the things that have happened to them. I am guilty of this. I overlook doing this as if it is normal to get upset because my day didn't go as planned or that something didn't work out.

We struggle so much in the moments because they are not what we expected or what we desire at all.

For me it's easy to question, to fuss, to allow it to affect me so deeply that I start to believe that life is meant to be unsatisfying.

But it's not, life is meant to be satisfying.

While it might feel unsatisfying and confusing at times, I know that not every day will be perfect and not everything we go through is ideal. Life is not random, and everything here and now matters.

We are constantly changing to adjust to the challenges and new circumstances life presents. I have to stop myself from letting one thing ruin the rest of my week because how can I truly embrace the gift of each day if I am questioning where I am right now?

I can't, but that is a choice that we all have. Where we are right now is where we are meant to be. Even if it is not what we want or what we believe should be, there is a reason. Even when you try your best and see no results, there is a reason. You will break through because if growth was easy, we would not appreciate it.

Your life is yours. My life is mine, there are so many more adventures to be had and more exciting places see and experiences to hear about.

Practice gratitude in your day. Recently, I started to make gratitude lists each morning consisting of five things I am grateful for. For a moment, it allows me to stop and think and appreciate everything I am going through and everything I do have.

This is how I start my day and how I choose to see the good in everything I am going through.
