Beautiful Mess

                              Beautiful Mess
      
       Yeah, that about sums most of us up doesn't it? Life can get so hectic from time to time you don't know which way to go. It may not feel like it, but you keep handling all the day to day things beautifully, no matter the mess life brings . Yes it may be hard but it all ends up working out in the end one way or another. You'll see, You just have to keep working and walking forward no matter the obstacles you encounter. You've all heard the saying
" Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain" .
This couldn't be more truthful. If you're always waiting for your obstacles or bad times to go away you'll be waiting forever. Embrace it all, learn to dance through the bad times. Take something away from that, it can be a learning experience. Learning what to do or what not to do next time things get tough.

       Now you could be a college student juggling school and work just to make ends meet and to further your education for a dream job you want. You could be just out of high school on the top of the world, having everything planned out and looking forward to your future and if that's the case that's great! Embrace the journey you're about to take. It may be overwhelming, but take it one day at a time. It'll be okay. You could be a single parent working 3 jobs to keep food on the table and to take care of your family to make sure they have a good life.  Maybe you are somewhere in your 20's or even 30's not sure what the next move is, no job or a dead end job, just completely lost. That's okay too. No one tells you that though, no one tells you that if you are lost or overworked that it's okay, it will be okay. No matter where you are in life, just know that what you are doing matters. Even if it feels like you aren't doing anything. The way you are shaping your life does matter. For yourself and for others involved in your life.

       So if you aren't doing anything at the moment take this time to learn something new, a language, read a difficult book to broaden your thinking, volunteer somewhere, but do something. Try to make a difference you may find a new passion somewhere you never thought of before. If you are a college student juggling school and work and just feel exhausted, reward yourself for the amazing effort it takes to do that. It could be anything from a doughnut, new nail polish or a 20 minute nap lets be honest. You are tired and overwhelmed. Take a nap, let your mind rest and start refreshed! Now to the single parents out there juggling jobs and a family. I have so much respect for you. You are trying to provide for your family. You need to take some time out of your day or week and do something for yourself, a walk, a bath, or a nap as well. Anything because you deserve a break.  You need to refresh your mind as well because if your mind isn't working it's going to be twice as difficult. The moral to this blog today is, though life brings a lot of messes it is how you handle it. Do you just sit there and sulk? Or do fight back and work your ass off to achieve what you want? The choice,  is ultimately yours. Do what you will with this information. But I hope you choose to fight back because your journey is going to be a bumpy ride but so worth it in the end.

I hope you all enjoyed the blog post today. It may be a little all over the place but hey, that's life isn't it?

Dance through your storms,

Danielle
