Being Still.
I can feel the fall weather slowly creeping in. And with every ounce of my being, I am letting it all in, welcoming it with open arms, and anxiously waiting for the cooler weather.
Fall. It's the time of the year I'd say I love the most. The weather is just right. The breeze of the wind always feels good. And there is something so comforting and relaxing about it all, that it makes me still.
Although the weather has not officially arrived in Vegas, I am already in that place; the stillness. There is something I find so wonderfully beautiful about just being still. For most of my life and early 20s, the last thing I ever was was still. With time and with each new year, I have come to find that my maturity has not only increased, but that I am becoming and feeling more whole with myself than ever before.
There is much I hope to accomplish in my life. But of all the wishes I have, my greatest hope is that I live a purposeful life. A few months ago and even years ago, my answer would have been so drastically different. But nowadays I feel as though I have arrived in a place where I can truly be me and I am loving that so much.
When you change your thoughts, you change your world and in doing so, my life has become more richer, grander, nourishing, loving, happier, and whole. Life has become more grounded and my soul has become more still.
Today I am still. I am whole and I am happy. And even when things happen that upset me or someone is being mean to me, I do my best to really not let it bother me anymore. I know that I will always be a caring and helpful person. And I also know that there will always be those people who do not like people like me.
Instead of trying to change all of this, which I cannot control, I just don't care anymore. In not caring, I am allowing myself to love myself and be okay with situations that are out of my hands. I make no apologies for who I am and with those who don't care much about me, I just don't let them bother me.
My 20s started out being the hardest years of my life. But as I near the end of them, I am at such peace with how far I've come. There is still much to do and much to live for. And those are what I focus on.
Be still and you can see what really matters in your life. Be still and you can see that there is still beauty that surrounds you. Be still and you can be whole within.
I am still and I am whole. Life is breathtaking.
