Reflecting As I Begin Year 37
Life comes at you fast, producing many imperfections to your path no matter the level of preparation/planning you put in place. I have learned in my journey that imperfections create character, but people who want to be (and deserve to be) in your life would never think less you due to chinks in your armor. They will always value you for reasons far more substantial than any accomplishment, job title, or missteps you may have taken. When looking at a rose garden, people's eyes are drawn to the abundance of beauty, not the couple weeds at the base of the flowers. Life is no different, while your mind may want to fixate on your personal weeds, others choose to be around you because it brings a greater joy to their own life. Learn to accept yourself, the good and bad, while understanding others WANT you to be a part of their life. See the good already present in your daily life and brush off negatives you cannot control. An abundance of happiness will follow.
It is easy to feel the love on your birthday, and thank you to everyone for that, but even more so the strength and joy you provide me the other 364 days. #BeTheDifference #GIYC
