It's a beautiful sunny Monday morning. It feels as though spring may finally be here. I've given myself the time to practice yoga this morning. Something I haven't done in a couple weeks (since Passover!) To work towards a goal of being fit, not just thin. To be healthy and mindful. I've taken precautions to try and stay on top of school work. I need improvement on the work work side of things but I am organized and will do my best. I want to put work out there that people, my company, and I can be proud of. I took this moment to observe my life.
Maybe it's the sun, maybe it was the yoga, maybe it's because the school semester, my first of graduate, is coming to a wrap up but I took a moment to really check in.
I am living in New York City again. I'm in a school program I love and am learning from. I have a job to continue to develop my skills, and yes, make some side money to help. I am healthy. And most amazingly; a year ago, heck just 6 months ago, I was unhappy in my life situation. I felt stuck and lost. But I changed that. We have the power to change our lives. Nothing is impossible.
Difficult? Yes.
Seemingly impossible? Sure.
But it can be done. The human mind and spirit are incredible things. With god's help we can change things. Whether it's yourself, your life, your job. Your happiness lies in one beings hands. Your own.
I wrote that all at around 11am this morning. It's not almost 4:30pm, and thankfully, that all still feels true. That's because it is and when I have a moment where it (aka life) feels out of control and lost, I can read this again and remember - I am grateful.
