Random Thoughts...

Hello everyone!!!

It has been a little more than a year since the last time I sat down and felt inspired to write. I wouldn't call it writers block, more of a reflection period. Some time to myself to truly discover who I am, what I want, and how to achieve all those goals.

You know, its funny when you stop and take a second to truly sit back and think about your life. All the things you've done, the things you haven't, the one who you thought would never happen and did, and the things you were too afraid to attempt. I've done a lot of soul searching and can honestly say that up to this point in my life, I am truly happy with the way it has turned out so far.

Sure there are things on my ultimate bucket list. For example, Great White Shark Cage diving in South Africa, and enjoying a true safari tour, but those are things that I hope to get done. What's most important for me, are short term goals with long term results.

At 35, I have gotten to a certain point in my life were I've learned to accept that certain things just are what they. That doesn't necessarily mean it's a negative thing, I look at them as more positive. Because what's important is my happiness. There are things I used to worry and stress about, now I look at them with a different perspective. If they happen great, if they don't then great. There is no point in stressing things that are out of my control.

All it brings me is a headache and more stress. Which when 2019 began I promised myself I won't do anymore. Inner peace is my ultimate goal. I want to live a more stress-free life and starts with letting go of the tings I can not control and just letting them happen as they should.

Being a co-owner of a business comes with lots of stress, especially when dealing with the public. This year I'm learning to manage the stress of it better. I've learned that we are all our different and react to things differently. We do what we can do accommodate, and be fair to our clients. When we can't, we apologize and hope we can in the future.

I've lived life too worried about so many things that now, I'm taking a step back and trying to let go of that worry. And just enjoy the ride.
