Hey guys, long time no see!

For this week’s post I decided to share a few things that I personally have realized allow my life a greater sense of purpose and happiness. I hope these help you out 🙂 Also, as a quick heads up I am leaving on vacation this Sunday and will take many pictures so I can blog about it and that will be posted next Friday. Hope you’re summer has been great and now let’s get on to the article. Don’t forget to sparkle!

In the world we live in today it is easy to be afraid of things we don’t know much about. It’s only natural considering the regular precautions we practice in our everyday lives. This being said, it’s easy to get caught up in said worries and lose touch with what it truly means to get lost in the moment. We’ve all heard some form of the phrase ‘live as if you were to die tomorrow’ before and it’s time that we start obeying it. After all, we only live once: we must explore, eat, play, and achieve as if we only have one chance because sometimes we do.

In a world run by negativity we have to stay positive. There is always a chance of bad things happening but if we dwell on that chance, which is really only a number, we are preventing ourselves from enjoying life. Of course it’s ok to be negative every once in a while, a rant helps us release steam, after all, but at the end of the day we must learn to direct our energy towards learning and adapting because of our situations. Positivity truly is powerful and can make all the difference when it comes to living a happy and fulfilling life.

One very overlooked key to a fulfilled life is being passionate about something. There’s so much to find passion in in this world whether it be music, travel, art, dance, or even something like religion, volunteer work, or activism. Having a passion can both give you something to do and make life feel more meaningful. So, next time you get invited to do something strange, give it a shot. Who knows, it might be your new passion.

Sometimes it can feel like the hardest thing in the world to let something go, but it’s important that in the end we drop the rope and let the balloon fly away. Whether it’s knowing when t0 give up on a pointless argument, forgiving someone who doesn’t seem to deserve or want forgiveness, or letting go of stress or a toxic relationship, it is important that at times we evaluate our priorities and decide if something is truly worth our time or not. Through learning to let go we are allowing ourselves to grasp onto the things that are actually important.

After all, anything could happen.
