I Saw This & Thought That...

How true is this? I read it and thought it made perfect sense. It's so easy to stay in your comfort zone. It's what we know. I know this to be true. It's difficult to step outside of that box to get to what comes next. But the reality is, if we don't we won't ever progress. I feel like this was placed on my tumblr feed just for me to see. I needed to receive this message today. I need to step outside of what I know and what is comfortable so I can get to my future. It's not inside of this perfect little box I call my life. It's outside of it, in the dark, unknown spaces. Looking towards it can be scary but exciting as well. I was racking my brain for a topic when I came across the picture. I needed this. What do you guys think of this quote?

Day 10: One Quote That Describes Your Life Right Now

Tupac Amaru Shakur

“There’s gonna be some stuff you’re gonna see that’s gonna make it hard to smile in the future, but through whatever you see, through all the rain and all the pain, you gotta keep your sense of humor. You gotta be able to smile through all this bullsh-t.” — Tupac Amaru Shakur

In a Great Place

(Disclaimer: I do not know who the author of this piece is but it's inspiring & I thought I'd share it)

Instead of placing judgments on where you find yourself, consider the positive possibilities. Instead of extending assumptions out from your limitations, imagine your most treasured dreams extending out from your current situation.

If you feel stuck where you are, you’re mistaken. Anything is possible, when you engage the power of your imagination.

The things that have already happened can give you some useful insight and perspective. Yet your future is whatever you choose right now to make it.

You don’t have to be magically transported away from where you are in order to experience fulfillment. You can begin making your way forward from wherever you may be, in whatever direction you choose.

It’s easy to blame your circumstances for holding you back. It’s much more powerful, though, to accept those circumstances and begin working with the value they offer.

You’re in a great place, because from where you are you can go anywhere. Look around, with positive expectations, and step forward in the direction of your dreams.
