"Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives." I just love this quote, it really makes me think about life. It's so easy to get distracted sometimes by an overwhelming amount of background noise, and lose focus on the task at hand.

1. Focus

You get to decide how to spend your time,who to spend it with, and what you're willing forego when time runs short. Focus on what's important. You get what you focus on, so focus on what you want. Break everything down into simpler, more manageable steps. First it will feel like a sacrifice. Then it will feel like the grind. Then it will feel like life. Then it will feel like freedom.

2. Capture

Don't ever let anyone tell you that you can't do something. A rich and satisfying life means one full of contrast. Capture all your plans and goals. Create a life that feels good on the inside, not one that just looks good in photos.

I am determined to embrace this extravagant life for all it has to offer. Appreciate every little thing. Be so grateful for the little things. It takes a bunch of small wins to create the big ones.

3. Develop

In life let there be a method to your madness. Be strategic. Play chess with it. Don't let your impatience get in the way of your planning. Sometimes a little tweak in your perspective will lead to a much greater outcome. Give your life meaning everyday by pushing yourself closer to your dreams.

Own the place, own the process, own your time, and own the direction of your future. And if things don't turn out, take another shot.
