Don’t compare– that’s my message to the world
Today I was reminded what life is about – service, love and little big things – and I’m truly grateful
What Life Is All About

Afternoon Off
Feel your feelings – that’s my message to the world
Today I’m not okay and that’s okay I’m going to hang out with the trees, flowers and birds for a while
“Ocean” by Lady Antebellum
How can someone stand so damn close
‘N’ feel like they’re world away?
I can see your sad story eyes
So how do you have no words to say?
All I want is to fall in deeper than I’ve ever been
Why won’t you let me?
I can handle your heart, so help me
Here you are, next to me
– Lady Antebellum, “Ocean”
Recently I heard “Ocean” by Lady Antebellum I just have to share it because it’s such a beautiful song. Listen:
[Book Review] The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson (@IAmMarkManson)
“Happiness is a constant work-in-progress, because solving problems is a constant work-in-progress—the solutions to today’s problems will lay the foundation for tomorrow’s problems, and so on. True happiness occurs only when you find the problems you enjoy having and enjoy solving.”― Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life
Yesterday I finished reading The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life by Mark Manson it’s a refreshingly honest self-help book filled with practical advice I recommend it to all who don’t mind a little vulgar language
Improvement Not Perfection
The daily goal is improvement not perfection – that’s what I keep reminding myself
Today I was reminded that the daily goal is improvement not perfection none of us will ever be perfect but each of us can strive to be better people than we were yesterday

“No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.” – H.E. Luccock

Uncomfortable
Some people have no concept of boundaries – that’s what I’ve realized
Yesterday I was somewhere was more than 100 people we were eating and this man put his hand on me and starts praying i let it go he disappears then returns to wipe my face I say no, my sister says no and my friend says no still he continued now saying I must sing for him I was so uncomfortable and scared (I would later find out the man has some sort of mental illness which explained but still did not excuse his behaviour)
Fill Yourself Up
Give yourself what you wish you got from other people – that’s my message to the world
Today I understand that nobody will be able to fill me up from the outside because that truly is an inside job
Being with Myself
Sometimes you’ve got to disconnect from the world and reconnect to yourself – that’s what I keep being reminded of
Today as I sat outside under a tree listening to bird sounds I remembered the importance of being, being with myself and being with nature
The Gift of Every Day
Every day is a gift – that’s what I keep reminding myself
This year has been full of unexpected tragic events and while I cannot wait for 2020 I realize every day is a beautiful gift and hold on to that
