More Than Stepping Stones

Knowledge will be a stepping stone towards a successful life, but experience is the road to it. 

Lately, I have caught myself jumping ahead in life a little more than I would like. I need to live and enjoy the moment. I have been so focused and worried about exactly when Marshall is going to graduate, when I am going to get my promotion at work, when we are going to try and start a family, when Marshall will have a career, when we will be able to buy a house, and the list just goes on and on and on. Yes, I need to be prepared for the future, but I need to enjoy my life. I catch myself saying I can't wait till our life hits this or this or this point. I need to stop feeling that way, because if I don't I will always be looking ahead for satisfaction. Life is good where I am at now, and I need to remember that. I need to experience everything that life has to offer. Life is more than stepping stones to get to our destination, it is the experiences that get us to our destination.

  3. That's great advice - it's your attitude that makes you happy not what you're doing. Your shoes are so cute!
