Our lives have a way of getting away from us. We seem to allocate more and more of our personal time to things that don’t really bring us joy. Don’t get me wrong, we need to have a level of adulting that maintains a health living environment but we can easily let it consume us completely. We forgot about the trips we wanted to take and the experiences we wanted. Working longer hours gets us further and pays more but the rest of our life gets put on hold. What trip did you want to take? What concert would you like to see? What race do you want to run? I advocate for seizing the day to make the memory. Making it to support someone at a game they’re playing, dance recital, art exhibit…, will give you more of a work life balance and go a lot further to your overall happiness. Make the memory, take the trip, accept the invitation and live life for everything you can get out of it, you deserve to look back in life and smile.
