These are the days

"These are the days that must happen to you"

WW  

This quote sticks with me pretty much every day. On my good days, my bad days and every one of them in-between. These are the days I must experience in order to become the man I will be.

When you wake up in the morning, remember what a precious privilege it is to be alive - To breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

When life’s stresses are hitting you in the face it’s easy to forget that merely existing is a privilege.

How many people in this world have come before you that no longer have that privilege? Lots.

So be happy you’re alive and kicking, able to chase your dreams, even if it means you have to wash the dishes and make your bed.

As much as I set goals, and chase them relentlessly, I am of the belief that your experience along the way is really what’s most valuable. That the people you meet, the sunsets you see, the air you breathe, build you up like Lego bricks into your final form.

While achieving your goals really is fundamental to living a fruitful life, in my opinion, I do believe the journey is what plants the tree that bears that fruit.
