I love this.

I definitely would not go as far as to say "I fall in love," (hah!) but I greatly appreciate any person who is real

I think we are all just trying to figure out life, what makes us happy, how we can make ends meet, how we can find a sense of meaning, and find whatever it is that makes us feel as if we have arrived, as if we have done enough. 

BUT have you ever considered that you have arrived? 

That this is your life right now. These little moments make up your life.

No more, "I'll be happy when I accomplish this..." or "I'll relax once I make it through these next few things."

Those thoughts emit a low energy frequency--they emit a sense of lack. It's okay to not be satisfied, but complacency and contentment are two different things.

Appreciate where you are now. Be grateful for the people and the course of your life. You can be happy with where you are and have a desire to go further.

Gratitude is fruitful; it's the foundation of further creation. In all seriousness, when you are grateful, you bring more goodness to your life.

I'm not saying fake it. That's the point of this. Let's be real--we have days where we seemingly hate everything.

Part of being real, however, is accepting that things aren’t perfect and being grateful anyway.

Consider that where you are right now is significant. Your life is imperfect and it always will be.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. No one does. Everyone bears something beneath the surface. People's skin isn't always as thick as it seems. The best and most intelligent people are always questioning, discovering, and questioning more. Humility and honesty, friends.

Uncertainty is beautiful. The journey is beautiful. Don’t forget about the arrival point though.

Let yourself arrive, feel grateful, and feel “good enough” even if you want to go further.

  1. Talia, I think that this is a fabulous lesson to learn at a young age. As a woman in my fifties, I feel that I have just now "earned" the right to start to feel this way. I'm finally understanding that contentment doesn't equal complacency. Thanks for your beautiful post.
