Wake Up

Some days just come and go in a blur; here one moment and gone the next. We get so caught up in the hustle and lose sight of everything in our path. The little things that are supposed to guide us and shape us into our true selves are so easily overlooked, pushed aside, taken for granted. It's time to wake up, truly wake up and see not only what lies ahead of us, but what lies within us, growing stronger every day. It is far too easy to get stuck in the idea that we are idle in our journey when the hours and days blur together. But, that is simply not the case. Every day that you wake up and decide to take another step is progress. Don't let this become the new norm, but also learn to accept where you are at this very moment. Some times it takes being still to appreciate the world that is moving around you. You don't always have to have a plan, an idea, the right words, right attitude, right anything; but you do need focus, especially during the days that come and go as a blur. Rest, refresh, and get yourself ready for the new day, the new life, that lies before you. Believe you can and you will. Prove them wrong. Make your mark. You got this even when you think you don't. Never stop reaching and growing because some day it will be clear why you had to have those blurry days to see the bigger picture crystal clear.
