When it comes to your goals, the world seems to want you to believe that real success and real happiness is within short reach (if you buy this thing right now.) Complete a 4-week program and you’ll finally be hot and happy! Buy this supplement to clear your skin and help you find your soul mate!
Unfortunately, the real world has a way of dispelling these ideas very quickly. Even if you DO go out and do the program, buy the supplement drink a gallon of water of day … results do not happen overnight. If anyone says otherwise, they’re trying to sell you something.
Remember that life is a journey. Yes, you should live each day to the fullest. But sometimes, “the fullest” means relaxing on a couch with those you love most, not busily pursuing a get-fixed-fast goal or objective. Sometimes, just making it through the day is full enough.
When the journey gets tough, remind yourself that Rome wasn’t built in a day (and neither was Beyonce). Life’s struggles do have the power to make you stronger, but that strength comes with time and effort. When facing change, you’ll become wiser, but at first, it may feel like everything you’ve built can be destroyed in a day.
Don’t buy into all of this. You may not be where you want to be, but you’re on your way there. Life is as long as you make, and it’s a beautiful ride. Enjoy the view.
