"If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving another one" - Dolly Parton
Realize that you have the ability to change situations that you don't like. After you realize this ability, use it to evoke change in whatever situation is causing you ill-feelings.
"Life is a series of baby steps" -Hoda Kotb
In life we have to make important decisions. Sometimes we will fail, it's okay, we are human, and we don't know everything. The most important thing is that we take it step by step, day by day. You learn to walk before you learn to run.
"Love yourself first and everything else falls into line" - Lucille Ball
When you love yourself first, you harness a power that no person and no object can take away from you. Yes, you'll have bad days, but the self-love you possess will allow you to forgive yourself for your mistakes and will always carry you through even your toughest days.
"Don't give it five minutes if you're not going to give it five years" - Meghan Markle
Really sit down and think about your time commitments. Do you have a hobby right now that isn't making you happy or earning income like you'd hoped? Are you thinking about pursuing a job or opportunity? When thinking through these scenarios, also think about whether you can see yourself in this opportunity/job for the next five years. Are you willing to commit that long? Is your lifestyle steady enough? It takes five-ten minutes to sit back and look at your life now, and where you want to be in five-ten years.
"No one is you and that is your super power" -Unknown
Be happy in your own skin. Both society and social media have the ability to make us wish we had someone else's life or opportunities. We've all thought, or at least commented. "Goals" under someone's picture or status update. Some people wish they could be more popular or more likable. Some people wish they could be more serious or "professional". But, we all have strengths and weaknesses. We all have our quirks and pet-peeves. That is what makes us individuals. We are all different, but that's what makes us work so well together.
"I've failed over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed" -Michael Jordan
Life is about learning from our mistakes. Knowing what we've done wrong gives us a blue-print for what to do right.
"It's not what we have in our life, but who we have in our life that matters" - Margaret Laurence
Material items can bring added value to our life, but they are temporary and replaceable. The people we love, aren't. Though it's acceptable to enjoy having luxurious items or items that you care about, those items shouldn't overshadow the people you care about. Once loved ones are gone, you cannot get them back.
"Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day" - Unknown
We don't live in a perfect world, we don't perfectly manage our emotions, and we cannot prepare for unforeseen headaches. However, we can be thankful for the little things that are going right in our lives. Take more time to count the small blessings in your life and focus less on the major inconveniences.
Sometimes you never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory" - Dr. Seuss
It is commonly stated that we millennials, do not know how to live in the moment. Some believe this because we like to take pictures/videos of everything we do. Though pictures and videos are nice to look back on, they can sometimes take away from the moment at hand. If you're recording something, record on your camera and post to your social platforms later. That's one way that I've found I can capture the moment while still living in the moment.
