Enjoy Life

Quote
"Dance as though no one is watching you; love as though you have never been hurt before, sing as though no one can hear you, live as though heaven is on earth."
-Alfred Souza

My Thoughts
You may have heard this quote before. I think it is really reminding us to enjoy life.
Sometimes we can get so caught up in our work, education, health, family, or spiritual goals that we forget to stop and enjoy life.

If you continually struggle to reach a goal without pausing to celebrate your successes along the way you will eventually get burned out. It may even lead you to despise the goal that you chose to pursue.

What do I recommend if you are feeling down and burned out?

Ideally, take at least three days off and go somewhere. Wherever makes you relaxed, go to that place and relax. I would use two of the days just to unwind. The third day I would spend time reflecting about your life. If you absolutely can't take three days, take two. If you can't take two, take one. On these days do not have work related discussions with anyone. So no email and preferably no phones.

So remember to set some time aside to relax and really enjoy everything life has to offer. Take time to celebrate your victories. Pursue your dream but remember to have fun along the way.

Until next time...
