Piece of Positivity 9•1•14

Ideally, we would all take advantage of every minute the day has to offer. But whether you are balancing sports and homework or a career and kids, it can be easy to forget to breathe. All of this wound up stress leaves you looking for an escape. So, you watch the minutes tick by on the clock hoping 6pm comes faster, pay extra attention to the number of days until your upcoming vacation, and miss out on
what is right in front of you. Instead of dreading every minute of history class, you could have put some effort into enjoying the class. Maybe you could have made new friends, bonded with your teacher, or actually learned a thing or two (not just memorized it until the test is over). Like so many people in today's go-go-go society, I'm guilty of daydreaming about tomorrow when I should be living in today. I spent quite a bit of my life waiting for things to change, then one day, I decided to change my own perspective.

Embrace the spectacular now.
