The things I try to remind myself of as much as possible through the good, the bad, and the ugly.

If none of my dreams or aspirations came to fruition, I would still be more than content with how my life turned out because I already have everything I could’ve dreamed of and more – family and friends who I love with all my heart, a roof over my head, and food on the table.

The secret sauce to it all isn’t necessarily the outcome, but rather cultivating your inner light so when experiences cross your path you can fully enjoy and immerse yourself in them.

Ultimately, the mundane and overlooked things make life the most beautiful, just as the small, instinctual decisions we make on a day-to-day basis end up defining the life we live.

And regardless of what’s happening, the true miracle is getting to wake up and experience another day of life.
