Life Is a Journey, not a Competition

"Life is a Journey, not a Competition."

I came across this image on Facebook today and thought to myself, wow! This rings true to me.

We're here to enjoy life, not pull each other down. This year, I've decided I will live each day like it's my last and be happy and spread happiness where I am. After all, life's too short to be feeling down all the time. I choose to be happy and I will be happy because I believe God loves me and wants what's best for me.

Indeed, life is a journey... meant to be celebrated and enjoyed. We're here to share this amazing creation given to us by God and we should definitely enjoy every single moment. I'm very excited about what's coming next month too!

My bestest college friends and I are going to Bataan for a short vacation and I'm super excited about it! This will definitely be another journey to remember – making memories to last us a lifetime. I really hope we'll have enough time to explore and capture those moments. More importantly, I'm happy I'll be spending time with some of the most positive people in the whole wide world. I can't wait to share the laughter and moments of joy and pure bliss with these amazing earthlings.

I've arrived at that point in my life where I recognize who I should keep and who I should leave behind. I've been hurt before, yes. But I am also perfectly, completely, and totally loved. Thank You, Lord Jesus for another year! I can't wait to see how 2019 unfolds. I'll be more hands on, that's for sure. I will enjoy every moment and see where Life leads me. Lead the way, Lord Jesus! Amen.
