We’re never really finished…

I used to be so good at writing in my journal everyday, but that’s okay. Life gets busy. Routines change. I don’t think having a checklist routine where I have to mark things off a to do list really works for me. Does it really work for anyone? I need to associate things, set timers. That’s how I remember to actually do the things I need to do. Maybe that’s the ADHD, self diagnosed of course, talking. 

I swear, I just heard the thought “We’re never really finished.” It’s in those moments of reflection that I hear this voice. That seems to tell me just what I need to hear. There will be things that I don’t get to experience in this life. I think a lot of people think they have time, but God it goes so fast. That’s why it's important to write out what you actually want to do. Prioritize the things that bring you joy and happiness and let go of the rest. This message isn't just for you but also a reminder to myself. I make a vision board every year and it has all of my goals for the year - financially, spiritually, mentally, physically, but my problem is I forget to actually plan out those goals. I don't need to know completely HOW I am going to achieve these goals but they need to be in my calendar. I need to SEE them. To work backwards. Okay so if this is the goal. What small steps do I actually need to take to achieve it? Because once you start taking those small steps you’d be surprised how things build off each other and the opportunities you attract by bringing in that state of mind.

I think it's common in our society to also view resting as “lazy” . I know rest is important , but there is a difference between rest and procrastination. I tend to get in my head and think that everything needs to be perfect before I share it with the world. Because I don't want to get made fun of or look studpid…this stems for a larger societal standard that while yes, you can make mistakes, just not publicly or you will be ridiculed. 

At our core we must remember that life is actually quite simple. Our “purpose” if we really must have one, is just to experience. To follow our highest excitement, to the best of our abilities, with no expectations on when or how it will end. At the end of the day, I’m just happy to be here.
