Relax

One of the first things I was told in premarital counseling was "take time to take of you." Imagine my surprise. I thought marriage was all about turning my "me, myself, and I's" into "we, us, and ours." Don't get me wrong, it is definitely about that too, but our counselors wanted to stress the importance of self-care. If you do not take the time to take care of yourself, you are no good for anyone else. So, you need to relax. You need to go to the gym. You need that time in the barbershop or the nail salon. You need that girl's trip. You need that fishing trip. All of your responsibilities will still be there waiting on you. The laundry pile will be waiting, and the to-do list might be a bit a longer. Relax. Take a moment. Breathe. Chill. It's ok. I promise. 

Epiphany

What happens when you realize you deserve more? What will you do when you accept that you were created for more? Who will you become when you recognize you were destined for greatness? Will you stay on that job you hate? Will you leave that toxic relationship? Will you try that thing you always wanted to do, but was too afraid to try? Will you not just knock on the door of opportunity, but actually walk through it? You deserve it. You were created for more. You are destined for greatness. Now, is the time. This is your epiphany. You know better. So, do better. Overcome your fears. Step out. Do it! No more excuses.
