Our greatest glory consist not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. - Oliver Goldsmith

Sometimes when I am feeling completely exasperated and out of sync with my life goals and my day to day practices I catch myself in the midst of gasping for air for a moment long enough to realize that the only thing that matters is my happiness. When I find myself putting love, friendship, family, career {job}, lifestyle, travel, goals, ambitions, etc. before my own happiness my judgement becomes clouded. Ovbiously all of these things and many more matter to me very much so - but in the grand scheme of things if I as a human being am not happy with myself I will never fully be able to allow myself to bask in the wholehearted beauty of the things I care about. Today I am re-gaining focus in my life - today I am reminding myself that my happiness matters, that it is important and that if I do not focus on it I will always be allowing myself to love the things I care for a little less than I am truly capable of. I know sometimes my footing looses it's place and my vision can get cloudy but in the end I truly do know the person that I am, I know what I am looking for, I know what i love, I know whom I love, I know the life I have and what I need to change to make it a life that I truly will be proud of, now is the time I stop being afraid to leap after what I already know I desire.
Desperately trying to spread my wings.
