Blockquote (Standard)

Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.

Thomas J. Watson

Blockquote (Large)

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

I feel like I’m stuck in limbo. I know what’s I feel like I’m stuck in limbo. I know what’s wrong with me, but I’m not actively treating it (by which I mean, trying to *kill* lyme and all its friends). My doctor has me trying to boost my immune system and reduce my inflammation before I start treatment. I think it is making me anxious because I know what is coming, and I just want to get it over with already. ⠀
⠀
And I think this has been my biggest struggle: being so lost in the past or preoccupied with the future that I’m not able to see what is right in front of me. I’m trying to remind myself that every season in life will serve its purpose, that at the end of this hopefully I will have gained something bigger than the things I have lost. I’m trying to remind myself that it is possible to find happiness in uncertainty, to trust the path that the universe has for me💙⠀

“Your now is not your forever.” This statement “Your now is not your forever.” This statement has the power to empower you or terrify you. Knowing that bad times won’t last forever, but good one’s won’t either. A reminder to live in the moment regardless, to try not to lament over the past or wait passively for the future. Hoping to live more in the moment in 2021 and start figuring out more of what makes me 💙 ⠀
