Do you have a mantra?
I never did. I’m not one for short, simple sayings. If you’ve read my blog before, you’re probably fairly aware of the fact that I like words, and I don’t mind using a lot of them.
But as of late, I have been using a mantra of sorts, and I want to share it with you tonight.
I’ve always had a failure mentality. I look at my dreams, and instead of seeing promise, I see a track record of failure. It panics me. It paralyzes me.
And then every now and again, something will hit me and I will remember that life is just a series of moments. And at any time, we can change our life by changing our next moment. Looking long term is good; remembering our successes and failures is key. But in the end, all we ever have is this moment.
How do you want to spend it?
Because of Boo I tend to look at the milestones rather than the moments. Which is wrong. Because while her milestones might be different than the average kid, the moments are what count.
