Don’t get me wrong my life is awesome! I LOVE it! I know that I’m going to look back at my experiences and all the crazy cool Jesus things and be like woah the Holy Spirit was moving! But in reality it doesn’t feel that cool in the moment. My life looks way cooler plastered all over Instagram than it actually feels in the moment because right now it’s just my life. And life feels the same no matter where you are. Well that’s not exactly true because you’re experiencing completely different things so it does feel pretty cool. I’m still going through the motions of life though. It’s easy to make anything appear like something it’s not, especially on social media.
It’s easy to express the beauty in a sunset, but reality is sunsets are everywhere! I’m just now taking the time to go out and enjoy them! To dance in the golden light! Man, you can even make the same shirt look super sweet, but reality is I’ve been wearing it for 6 days straight and it doesn’t smell to pretty. Oh and did I mention I’m getting a hole under the armpit?
Anyone’s life can look spectacular. I’ve found many times where I’m like man if I was home right now I’d get to be experiencing this! Or what I’d do to hear those sounds and those conversations and be with my family! Grass always looks greener somewhere else.
I’ve learned to be present! Ive learned to breathe! Ive learned to enjoy life and live it well! To take opportunities that come in front of me. To work hard each day! To play hard on the weekends! To rest on the weekends! To laugh more! To try and talk less!
We all live an extraordinary life! My life’s pretty extraordinary but not more extraordinary than yours!
