It's been one of those days.

today was one of those days. i'll explain.
sometimes I work on a timeline and I don't mean deadlines for work, but I mean for life. yep, a timeline of sorts: when I should be in the job of my dreams, where I should be traveling, when I should be getting married, when I should be having kids, and so on and so forth. If my timeline isn't on track, I start to get severe anxiety and at times, burst into tears, like today.
i'm in between dreams right now, so my timeline is on hold at the moment, while I try to make two dreams happen at once, or at times, try to figure out which dream is more important.
have I confused you all yet? Sorry.
anyway, I stumbled upon this (below) on Pinterest today and it made absolute perfect sense.
don't you agree?

complicating things is my talent. i complicate them so much that at times they seem impossible and today I could have been awarded a prize for how complicated I actually made things. there were tears involved, panic over my failure to follow my timeline.
what I'm realizing right now (after regaining composure....yikes, the things our minds do to us!) is that timelines, paths, to-do lists, or any other material that marks our life path is meaningless in comparison to happiness. my timeline used to be a 'path' to my happiness but what I'm realizing is that I don't really need a timeline to find happiness, i just have to concentrate on finding what makes me happy without putting a time-frame on it.
ah, lessons! I'm glad I could provide one for you all today.

my mission from now on is to find what makes me happy, to make that life for myself...a life that I find worth living no matter the time-frame.

and with that Happy Wednesday : )

what's your mission? please tell me you have one too :)
