I’m a sucker for a good quote.๐ I search for them when I’m reading. Products with quotes always catch my eye. There are many ๐ shirts in my closet and โ๏ธ mugs in my cupboard with words on them. But I saw a quote the other day that stuck with me.
“Look around you. Appreciate what you have. Nothing will be the same in a year.”
I’m a believer in the whole notion of appreciating what you have.๐ฅฐ But the part that really got to me was the last line. Nothing will be the same in a year.
WOW!๐ฎ
That seems ๐ฝ ominous and ๐ฅณ hopeful at the same time, doesn’t it? It’s also true. Nothing will be the same in a year. For better or worse, things change. That’s one thing we can count on.
Looking back on my own life, I couldn’t have guessed what life would be like right now.๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ I had plans and ideas, just like everyone else. Some of those intentions happened just as I imagined. ๐๐ป Others weren’t even on my radar.
I think the point is this: what are we waiting for? ๐ Look around. Appreciate what you have. Wear the new ๐ shoes. Don’t save the ๐ dress for some special occasion. Eat the ๐ฐ dessert. Stay up late. Read the ๐book. Learn a skill. Start a hobby. Take a walk in the โ๏ธsunshine.
Nothing will be the same in a year, and there’s freedom in that knowledge. So don’t continue to look at life in the same way. It’s not a ๐๐ปโโ๏ธsprint. Give yourself permission to live and enjoy every moment!๐
