Days Go By

Where does time go? Growing up it seemed as though one year took forever to come by. As a little girl, I was always excited about school starting and then I was excited for school to end for summer vacation. Now, as an adult that same year literally disappears quicker than we can recall what happened. Life definitely catches up to you in the real world. Work, family, friends, relationships, self... I never knew that there was such a balancing act. You can never balance one without neglecting another. This is what I have learned in the last year. 

The saying is true, that there is never enough hours in the day to do everything. When will I ever have the time to travel and see the world? When will I have time to see my friend? When will I have time to contemplate the bigger things in the world? What about the small things? When will I ever be able to perfect my craft or talents? When can I learn to do those things that I have always wanted to learn? You cannot plan for these things. This is what I have come to realize. I have come to realize that plans (no matter how detailed) may never be effective. I think the only thing that you can do is to actually DO them. 

Don't tell yourself you will do it tomorrow. What are you doing RIGHT now? Do it NOW instead. This is going to be my mantra for the New Year. Plans don't work, self-help books don't work, therapy, good advice..none of these will work unless we actually take action to DO them..and with this I am going to leap into the new year. What will come of it? We will have to wait and see. ..
