It’s easy to forget how good life is. When you see only the highlights of other’s lives most the time. It’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Like you’re a step behind. Truth is we’re all just trying to figure it out. We’re trying to live our best lives in confusing times.
I asked God for a simple & sweet life. I used to pray for that kind of love, for that kind of life. He reminded me of that today when I was frustrated because I felt like I wasn’t doing enough. I look at others and see their businesses being successful. People traveling across the world & I think I’m not there yet. But I’m right where I used to pray to be. 18 year old self would be so proud of me right now. Married to the best. Living in Colorado. Working on my own little businesses. Yet it feels not enough. Maybe that’s because the enemy wants to distract me. Wants to get me busy again, where in reality I don’t want to go. But that’s what “success” looks like. Busy.
I want success to be contentment. I want it to be joy & peace in my soul. Not what the world, what social media says is successful. So maybe I’m right where I need to be. Maybe my life is exactly what little me prayed for. My life is really actually super good in this season.
