As I was doing my positive reading to start my day, I came across this one on Social Media and I felt it so I just wanted to share in case someone else needs to read this.
Thank you for sharing Amy
I don’t know whether it’s getting older, maturity, or traveling some tough roads that have given me a fresh perspective of what really matters, but right now, I am loving putting my head down and living my simple little life.
Not doing anything for applause, approval or validation. Not begging to be a part of anyone’s invite list and not trying to keep up with what everyone around me is doing—just living my simple little life.
Taking care of my family, enjoying my people, standing confidently in who I am. Going places without telling anyone. Soaking up these precious moments without needing a picture or making a post. Not climbing ladders or getting trophies. No showing off, just soaking up the present and taking it slow.
Minding my own business—not being offended, not being easily ruffled, not really focusing on anything other than what’s right in front of me. I’m so grateful for all I’ve been given, the people around me, my health, this opportunity to move through life with purpose, freedom and joy and it’s just pouring out of me. I’m dancing more. I’m laughing more. I’m crying more too and I’m taking more moments to pause and reflect.
I feel good in my own skin and I want good for everyone I come in contact with. I’m aware enough of my own failures that I’m not judging anyone. Things aren’t perfect. There are outside stresses and struggles almost daily but inside I am so at peace. It’s hard to explain, but I am content.
I’ve accepted who I am. I’m not at war with myself to be someone different, to achieve all these things, win all these awards or become some kind of “it” girl.
I’ve accepted that everyone is doing the best they can and I’ve learned that seasons change and clouds can only hold so much rain before they run out.
I’m not competing with anyone—not even myself. I’m not pressuring myself. I’m not worried about what’s to come. I’m not angsty or desperate. I don’t feel the need to convince anyone of anything. Like me. Don’t like me. Think I’m succeeding. Thing I’m failing. I don’t care about building a life that looks good on the outside because I know I’ve built a life that actually is good on the inside.
I’m just here…settled, feeling so at ease and so full that I don’t have any room for hate, drama, jealousy, petty nonsense, judgment, or fake…definitely no fake. Emphasis on that one.
Like I said, just putting my head down and living my simple life.
Our culture has tried to convince us that living your best life means you are everything, you’ve accomplished everything and you have everything and have done all the things, but I’m here to tell you nah—this is it.
Simple.
Mundane.
Boring.
Beautiful.
Love,
Amy
