don't overlook.

During the stressful times of trials, breakups, finals, a bad day, or just a busy schedule. It is SO SO easy to overlook things that are right in front of you. To not see the good things, the joy, the happiness that's been there all along even when times seemed rough. No matter how busy you get, there will always be time for the important things in life. As this semester began to whine down, I became so busy finishing up projects and completing finals that I sometimes to chose to complain more about that than I did just be thankful for the fact that I get to be a part of a major that I LOVE, it involves a lot of hard work but going to be so worth it in two years!

So if you are in the funk of a hard time, know that there is joy all around you, you just need to look. You are in control of your own emotions, an thoughts. You could be having the worst day ever today....I mean absolutely NOTHING went right. But choose to ignore that, you're still breathing, you're still loved, and you're still going to succeed. Choose to be the bigger person of your own mind. Let today know that it has no power over you.

I am preaching right to myself now also, I know it is hard to admit when you fall short, or have negativity. But choose not to live in it, choose to conquer it.

PS. In case you were curious, you DO have the strength to beat anything that's headed your way. You might not beat it in the way you want to, God might have different plans but I promise you...He wouldn't put you into something you couldn't climb your way out of. Nothing is impossible. Make that the mark you leave on today and everyday.
