My Wish For You

Thoughts I've recently contemplated:

Wouldn't it be great if we woke up every morning in a fabulous mood and were able to maintain it throughout the day?

Wouldn't it be great if we loved the job we go to every day?

Wouldn't it be great if we knew ahead of time what the right decisions are and how they will fit into the grand scheme of things?

Simple answer: YES

Reality: There are no simple answers.

My wish for you is that you wake up in the morning with fresh eyes, take a look around and make a conscious effort to be present. Take time to observe the people and the environment surrounding you.

My wish for you is that you find a job that you love and you do it with all your heart. We all know that perfection is hard to attain, but maybe it's my idealistic attitude that leads me to believe that it is possible to secure a job that makes you want to get up in the morning and gets you fired up.

My wish for you is that you realize sooner rather than later that you don't have to please everyone 100 percent of the time. You can try if you want, but you will get tired quickly because it is simply impossible. It's imperative to take the time to please yourself and do what makes you happy.

My wish for you is that you follow your heart. There are people who want to give advice all the time, but sometimes the only advice worth listening to is the voice in your head.

Though it sounds cliche, my final wish for you is to believe that things happen for a reason. Good, bad or ugly, there is a reason and lessons can be learned from all of them.
