Beauty in the Chaos

Everywhere you turn it seems to be swirling around you.  You feel like you can't get a break, it's absolute chaos.  I have been thinking about this a lot lately.  Many of us have this desire, almost need to achieve perfection.  We may not think we do, but it is there, hiding amidst us.  What if we stopped trying to achieve perfection?  What if we stopped looking at life as being less than or needing more and enjoyed what we do have?

I have had so many conversations with people who are wanting.  They want more.  They feel their life is lacking somehow.  They feel like they can't gain their footing. When we try to achieve something or some ideal that doesn't exist, we lose our joy, we lose ourselves.  We can start to feel like a failure and miss out on all the great things around us.

Maybe we aren't where we want to be yet.  Maybe we have goals we haven't achieved.  Maybe so many things, but even if we are still on our way, we should enjoy the life we currently have.  When we are always wanting, we are missing out on what we have.  It is time to pause and reflect on allow do have.  It is time to see the beauty in our every day, in our chaos.  Even when life is hard, when we are struggling, there is beauty, there is good.

It is ok to have goals.  It is ok to want to achieve new things.  It is ok to want to make changes in your life, but don't lose yourself and your joy in the process.  Don't look at what other people have that makes them happy.  Don't live in the highlight reels of people's lives on social media.  See the good and beautiful moments in your life.  Enjoy laughing with your loved ones.  Life isn't about the big moments.  Life is about finding the joy in your every day, falling in love with yourself and your life.

I challenge you to find the beauty in your chaos and share it.  Focus on the good and share it!
