On and on

So I'm sitting at work today, bored out of my mind and thought I might expound on a few thoughts. The thought of the day... life won't ever slow down and your problems will never disappear. They won't. So make the best out of every day you've got no matter the circumstances.

Last semester was probably the craziest time of my life trying to juggle dating, school, work, and church. I would think, "Gosh, if I can only make it to this weekend my life will perfect." or "Once this test is over I'm home free." Once the weekend was over or the test was done, it would be back to the grind. After going through this vicious cycle over and over, I finally started looking a little farther down the road. "If I could only be done with this semester so I can be happy again..." The semester ended, my stress level dropped to none, and I thought I was on top of the world again.

I changed to full time in my job, and for a little bit I thought I was extremely happy, mainly because I had finished the semester. But soon other problems and other stresses began to creep into the daily grind... co-worker issues, frustrations in my calling, the complicated dating scene, etc. The list never ends, and never will. I've actually even found myself thinking, "Man, if I could only get done with this summer and get busy again..." Haha! How fickle am I?

So recently I have had a rude awakening that no matter the circumstances in life, we are always going to have trials and walls to get around. So instead of always looking forward to better days and wishing today would just be over, why not make today the best day ever?

Moral of the Story: No matter what day it is, or what season of the year it is, or whether you're married or not, or if you're still struggling through college without any money, or missing the beloved people of Spain... be content with what you have. Be patient, focus on the positive, and do your best. Life if so much easier when you're just havin' fun with it.
