Happy Sunday!

Thought For The Week

This week I have a really big interview (for me, at least) and if I get it, it will significantly change  the rest of my year and summer. It's scary, and a little sad, because it will mean I'll be spending my summer behind a desk instead of on the lake, but it will also mean I'll be one step closer to my dream job. As I learned in spin class last week, nothing gets changed unless you challenge yourself, so push yourself in every area of your life.

Thought For The Week

Love this! This past week I learned a lot about making opportunities for myself, and I am happy to report that it paid off. Take a chance, and don't be afraid of hard work.

I can't believe it's the last week of February! What's one thing you told yourself you would try this month?

Fear

Deepak Chopra said, "The things we fear the most have already happened to us". There aren't many things in life I fear, but there are some things that I would definitely rather not do. This week I tackled things that were not on my 'to do' list per say, but they had been weighing me down. What have you been putting off for yourself?

The Finish Line

Right now, it's really easy to get caught up in the finish line. I'm barreling down the pike of high school, yet when I leave in August, I'll be leaving a lot more behind than just my city. I need to enjoy this time, and it's hard to appreciate it for what it is now, knowing it will never come again. But the finish line will still be there.

TFTW: Breaking Habits

This year has been all about habit breaking for me. For the past few years, especially at school, I've been afraid to step out of the 'bounds' that others have set, or those I think that others have set, for me. This summer and this fall, I finally decided to stop living my life from fear, especially of what other people think of me. This year, I have taken a lot of new risks, and some have immediately paid off, some have not, and some will take a little to see. Some of my risks have been those I've been waiting to do for years, and fear has kept me from doing them, a bad habit of mine.  But hey, it's senior year, I have nothing to lose, and I hope that by breaking my habits, and living with intention, my better habits will stay with me.

Thought For The Week: Sheep

This is so relevant to my life this week.  Respect people's opinions, but remember who they are at the end of the day.

TFTW: The Now

This week is going to be all about living in the now. There are so many fun things this week: I get to see my brother, my Senior speech, Senior day for Cross-Country, and my SAT scores come back! In short, I'm super excited about this week, something I haven't honestly felt in a long time. But I can only enjoy it if I live it one moment at a time.

TFTW: Success

To me, success is one of those intangible things that a lot of us will waste a lot of time, tears, and talent trying to find, much like happiness, peace, and patience. Maya sums it up pretty well for this week.

TFTW: Royar Style

True Life: I'm hot and cold on wether I like my handwriting.  I really want to learn calligraphy, and be able to make more things with my handwriting (i.e. free-handing canvases).

So in my daily SOTU, I always like to write a verse or quote to keep me going throughout the day. These were two of mine last week and very apropo!

TFTW: Let It Go

Every day is another chance to start over, and get it right with ourselves, and with life. Let go of what you don't need, and see how high you can rise.

TFTW: Pay It Forward

We all have a calling to make our world a better place. Honor that calling this week, and pass it on.

Thought For The Week: Be Fearless

This week, I challenge you to be fearless. Take ten seconds, muster up your courage, and do whatever you want to do. Last summer, I really learned this lesson well. If it goes your way, it's awesome, and if it doesn't, it's a lesson learned, not the end of the road. I guess, this is the non-cliche version of saying YOLO. It gets an awful rep, but it really does have a great meaning. You do only have one go round at most things, so why not enrich your life, and go for whatever you want?

Be Fearless.

Thought For The Week

I'll admit, I have a very hard time being 'in the moment'. One of my goals this year is to practice being in the moment, and not worrying about the past or the future. I'm really good about being in the moment during my yoga classes, but an hour every few weeks just isn't enough to stop and unwind.
