The what if...

You can not live your life for the what if, you must live for what is.

That is not to say that you should not have dreams, goals and aspirations, everyone must have those to stay inspired and moving forward in life. But what happens when you get stuck? Stuck living for the what if or what you think is supposed to be? The planning and dreaming can become all consuming and you lose sight of what actually is. One could argue that  it is easier to live for tomorrow and what might be than it is to deal with today.

If you plan your whole life or even for just one single thing in your life and live only to fulfill that single destiny, can you imagine all of the things that you may miss along the way?

Take a look at your journey. Did you enjoy the steps along the way? Or were they all in preparation for the desired result. Find the balance. Did you see the smile that you inspired? Did you get to smile yourself?

Be present, live in the moment, not for the moment, for that moment may never come.
