Be grateful for today.!

Refuse to waste the blessing that you’ve found in this day. Here. Now. A new slate to be everything you weren’t the day before. This day, right now, is a new opportunity to right your wrong doings or pursue that dream that seems too far out of reach. It’s your chance to become who you want yourself to be and to let go of the things that are holding you back. It’s a chance to grow, no matter how difficult it is.

Refuse to waste the opportunity to take in all that’s around you.

Look up. Interact with the stars and the moon. Let the sun warm your soul.

Every moment, every breath. Take in the beauty of it all. Enjoy what this planet has to offer.

Look out. Look across the seas. Past the horizon and think past the limits you’ve placed on yourself. Address those limits and seek out ways you can actively work to overcome them. Expose yourself to what makes you scared and uncomfortable. So that you can overcome.

And know that, on the other side of this discomfort you’ve been feeling recently is the balance you wish to acquire.

So how do you get there? Reach for it. Open yourself up. Let your passions flood you. Let your dreams inspire you to try. And even if you fall short, move forward. Cause now you’re equipped with knowledge of what doesn’t work. So maybe next time you bring tools with you to help you reach. Then you Reach again. And again. And again. Until everything you want is in your fingertips.

Also, for you 27th year, Practice true altruism. Give, not to receive, but to bless the people around you. To uplift them and help them along their journeys. Now that doesn’t mean to not guard your heart and soul when they need protecting. And it definitely doesn’t mean becoming a pushover. But just focus on how you can positively impact this world. It’s people. Your people.

I want to reach for the stars. I know I’m small. Such a small blip in the cosmic scale. Billions of years of chaos floating around me. And yet I want to leave my mark. I want to set this time as an important time. To walk in positivity so that everywhere I go for the rest of my journey I can leave positivity in my wake. It won’t be easy. And I’ll fail many times. But why not try to do it. The time is now. And the place is Here. At 26.

Time’s not going to slow down for me.

Lastly, Practice Gratitude. Intently. Be grateful for this moment. In all moments.

Walk with courage and compassion. For others, but mostly for yourself.

And 26 will be your year.

Bless my G.
