This popped up on my facebook feed today and it is exactly what I needed! I always want more out of my life. I want to reach my potential in everything that I do, so much so that I forget to be happy with what I already have. Maybe my life isn't exactly where I anticipated it to be at this point, but it's pretty darn great! The questions in my head "should I go back to school and pursue a different career? will I ever get married? what is God calling me to do with my life? Is He asking me to keep waiting for the answer?" Even though I have so many unanswered questions in my life, I AM happy with what I have right now! I love being an Aunt, I love that I am learning SO much from working in the medical field, I am happy that I am learning to be happy with living alone (still after three years) and I am happy that I have so much freedom in my life. Thanks Verily for this great reminder!
Are you happy with what you have?
Ciao,

I saw this on Facebook as well and loved it. I think that the balance of always wanting to move forward, to keep growing and learning and accomplishing, but still being grateful and happy for the situation I'm in is always a tricky one...but a balance which is so needed and healthy! So I hear ya...I keep needing to remind myself to be grateful for where I am right now, and to soak it up!!
