End of Year Thoughts

I've had some quotes I've jotted down in a note in my phone over the year. Small inspirations for everyday, here are some to remember for the New Year.

'It's about taking the inner journey to becoming your authentic self.'

I was listening to some podcasts about midlife crisis phenomena and this spoke to me. I can feel my life priorities shifting. Becoming my authentic self is a great way to describe it. It's the secret to life. Get to a point where you are comfortable doing what you want to do and don't worry about what others may think. You do you.

Live a life of 'I can't believe I did that' Instead of 'I wish I would have tried'

I'm not sure who first said this but it is splashed all over social media videos. Usually with someone doing an adventurous outdoor activity. Seize the day, say YES! Do all the things.

Every decision has a domino effect on your life.

It's true. I am the result of all these decisions I've made in the past. Large and small. These decisions brought me to this moment. On the flip side, the decisions I am making today could have this domino effect, it could be tomorrow or well in to the future. Do things your future self would thank you for.

When you are born you look like your parents. When you die you look like your decisions.

A little dark for me but it goes well with the quote above. A lot of life is a decision. Often the things most worth doing require us to choose to the hard things.

I hope everyone gets to relax during the holidays. It's a good time to scroll through your camera roll. You will surely remember some things you feel grateful for and reflect on what is important to you in the new year.
