Reminding myself of these words of wisdom today and this week.
After all,
“The first to apologize is the bravest.
The first to forgive is the strongest.
And the first to forget is the happiest…”

I don’t know how this is for you. But I realize how easy it is for me to get caught up with what everyone else thinks, and fall into the trap of letting their opinions become more important than they should be. It’s too easy to over-think things, to let the opinions of others intimidate and influence my life more than is good for me.
So this is a constant reminder, my Note to Self: Live for an Audience of One.
And be done with the rest.
Here’s to a good Wednesday!

This past week, I found myself having to remind myself of this:
That, and the fact that I needed to stop stressing + worrying.
Strangely enough, I was unnecessarily stressing out over my to-do list, despite summer vacation and the lack of school work. I don’t know about you, but I think it’s funny how I so often hold myself so tightly to goals and deadlines that I forget that it’s okay if things don’t always go as planned, and I don’t accomplish as much as I’d hoped to.
The biggest thing I learned coming out of last week was the fact that I need to be flexible with my to-do list and just roll with whatever happens. This lesson is one of those that I’m constantly learning over and being reminded of often.
As always, I still have plenty of to-dos floating around in my head. But this week, I’m choosing not to let them get the better of me. I’ll take what I have and make them work, and be flexible with the rest.
I hope your weekend has been amazing.
And here’s to a relaxing and productive week ahead! (:
