break-fast.

I took a few days off of posting on social media sites, it was a nice break to be sure. Here are some thoughts from the time offline.

  • If you aren’t happy without X, you still won’t be happy with X. X could be anything. Usually for most of us, me included, X could be a new job, new housing, relationships etc. It’s one of the biggest lies of our culture that we need all this stuff to be happy/fulfilled/at peace/content. Here’s my take, ya only need one thing to be happy/fulfilled/at peace/content, just that one thing, stop buying into lies that say you need more. (hint: that one thing is closer and gooder (yes, gooder) than you think.
  • A full belly and plenty of sleep is super helpful.
  • Getting in shape feels so good. I am not in great shape by any means, but I am getting closer to my goal every week and each week I feel (and look) better.
  • I started to listen to Harry Potter. I like it a lot.
  • Gotta focus on what you’re good at even if it hurts. Often it means giving up, sometimes just for a season, things that are in the way. 
  • Started a book of quotes, first quote is this: “Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step”- #MLK
  • first impression is so important.
  • I feel like a broken record, I always write about the same things.
  • #buzzfeed is an amazing site.
  • wikipedia goes down for one day and everyone goes crazy. I understand.
  • Tough life decisions are realllly difficult.
  • Ya gotta make peace with your weaknesses or ya won’t get anywhere. If you let your weaknesses rule you, they will.
