"There was a time that I learned this lesson the hard way- I became so unhappy with my current situation that I wasn't enjoying the day to day moments. I was working a job that made me unhappy, I desperately wanted a more creative career, I wasn't fulfilled with living in Southern California. I was living in a constant state of thinking my happiness would change if everything in our lives changed. Finally, with encouragement from my husband (who is exceptional at living in the moment) I slowly started to change my thinking. We were stuck in our situation for a while- I had to keep working, we had to save money, we needed to make some plans before our lives could change. I could spend that time being miserable OR I could start living in the present. It wasn't easy but I began to work at appreciating what we had instead of being consumed with making plans for something else. This is still something that I still struggle with but I have found that I am so much happier when I take a break from my goals and find time to be present."
Note to self: Ler, reler e aplicar.
Tão verdade, acho que quase todos nós acabamos por chegar a uma fase destas. Eu também já a tive e neste momento a minha irmã está a passar por ela também, não é nada fácil! Este texto é o conselho, por vezes pode ser difícil e na altura parece impossível, mas há que tentar e não nos deixarmos afundar na nossa tristeza. Sei o que era necessário para vos dar um sorriso e ânimo nesta altura e espero sinceramente que consigam. Passo sempre aqui para ver as novidades =) vai escrevendo *
