Each ordinary day, adds up to how we spend our life. Do you agree? If we only are living for the really “big” moments and exciting adventures, we’re ignoring a huge part of our life-the ordinary days. If you wondered, we all have a lot of them. That’s why I think it’s so important to enjoy them-as much as we can. Now, I’m not saying we need to be nonstop happy and jumping for joy every single week, but we can cultivate some happiness and peace, and an attitude of gratitude for these ordinary days. Again, these days really do add up to how we spend our life-and if we can pay attention to this more, we ensure that we don’t miss anything and that we appreciate every little gratitude we should have.
I think it’s first important to share that I haven’t always been this way, absolutely not. There was certainly a time in life where I was completely oblivious to this. As I get older, I realize that time only continues to pass by faster. If I don’t really care about enjoying each ordinary day, I miss so much. What changed was my mindset, and choosing to be intentional about each ordinary day. I realized we all have a choice-to let these days go by, or to enjoy them. Life is too short to not be happy and to not enjoy your life. It’s important to note that if you are seriously unhappy with each ordinary day or week, you may not be doing what you’re meant to be doing in life. Before I began my blog and small candle business, I wasn’t nearly as happy as I am now-because this is a dream come true for me. In other full-time jobs when I knew I wasn’t living up to my full potential or really capitalizing on my skills and knowledge, I also wasn’t that happy. It may be useful to take a good look at yourself and ask yourself if you are happy with how you are spending your time.
No one is really in charge of your life but you, so hold yourself accountable to your happiness and your enjoyment of each ordinary day. What is so beautiful about choosing to live your life this way, is that you can inspire and help others to do the same. I am always thinking about what influence I have on others, because I want it to be a good and positive one. Don’t miss the “ordinary days” in your life. It’s these ordinary days and all of the little moments that add up to how we spend our lives. Make each ordinary day count. What can you be grateful for? What can you be happy about? Find some small thing you can do to enjoy your day. Savor each and every moment that you have.
Remember to LIVE your ADVENTURE.
See you later Going Further Fam! ✌️
