Enjoying the Walk Down The Street
Current mood: awake




Stop living life for what's around the corner and start enjoying the walk down the street.

- Grant L. Miller, motivational guru
It's possible to be a little too focused. With blinders on, it becomes easy to completely live in our vision of where we will be in the future, while ignoring the improvements that we have made in the present.I am so guilty of this. Too often I am so focused on how things will be so much better when I finish school, reach my goal weight, move out of Michigan, get married, have children..etc. I feel like I have been living my life waiting for it to start. However the reality is I'm almost 27 years old. My life has already started. I need to learn to live the in moment. I need to appreciate what I have already accomplished. I am so focused on getting my Master's and moving out of Lansing that I realized I haven't even bothered to explore the city. I never been to any musuems, walk in any of the parks or even attend community events. I really haven't even made friends in the area. Starting from now on I am going to make more of an effort to live in the present moment. I am going to continue to set ambitious goals, but I am also going to enjoy the road to accomplishing those goals. Life is too short for me not to.
