Life Reflections


As the year comes to a close, it’s a good time to stop and take a look at the life we’ve created. What better time than now to do some self reflection and pose questions that make us think about who we have become. Is our life what we envisioned for ourselves? Life moves so quickly that sometimes we are so busy trying to survive that we often times settle for what we get instead of pursuing what we want. Has our actions this past year, demonstrated the type of person we’d like to be remembered as? Instead of being conscious of how we treat people, we may make up excuses for being rude and demanding to those we love. Are the people whose opinions we listen to, respectful and caring of us or do they have their best interests in mind? Sometimes we try so hard to make others happy that we compromise our own beliefs and happiness. Know that in the coming year, we can create the life we’ve dreamed about by committing to be more kind and thoughtful to ourselves. Today, take a moment to reflect upon the past year. What changes do you need to make in order to live a life that truly reflects who you are? Create your own unique path instead of living in fear and following a life that others feel more comfortable in seeing you live. Be the trendsetter that you are meant to be, instead of continuing to follow the demands of others.

Our life is as unpredictable as the ocean...
