Thoughtful Tuesday

Today I awoke with the realization that there are exactly four months left in the year.

Four months.

Yes, today is September 1st, 2015 (anyone else still writing 2014??!). It's truly crazy how fast time flies. Here I am, in my final semester at UNL, and December is only a few short months away. Where will I be in those four months? Honestly, I have no idea.

And I'm okay with that. (Or at least that's what I tell myself!)

For once in my life, I'm trying to be less of a planner about my futures and instead, focus on seeking out new opportunities. I found this quote today, which sums up my goal for the next four months perfectly:

The classes I've completed, the places I've been, the people I've met, and the experiences I've encountered have shaped me, yet they are in the past. I've learned numerous lessons and gained great knowledge from all of these, yet dwelling on them won't propel me forward.

Moreover, stressing about the future, like I love to do, won't help me either. It only adds worry and stress about events that may never occur.

So what can I do for these next four months? I can focus on living each day to the fullest, and seek new opportunities every day that will make my life richer and more beautiful. I know that if follow these steps, my future will be bright. I know that if I trust in God, he will take care of me.

What are your goals for the next four months? Where do you want to be? What do you want to accomplish? While you're pondering these questions, think about this:

TRUTH.
