Hi all and happy Tuesday!
I was on vacation yesterday and wasn’t able to write this until after catching up a bit.
On Sunday, I attended a concert at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre. I can’t say enough how awesome it was to listen to live music again! The artist was Jason Mraz, and I sent one of his songs a few weeks ago called “Be Where Your Feet Are.” My friend and I were catching up before the show began and I was talking about the difference between my husband and I as it related to goals and planning for the future. We were lamenting about how both of our husbands loved being in “the comfort zone” and never liked to take risks.
As the show continued on, I forgot about that conversation until he started to play the song I shared with you — and a light bulb clicked on. “Be where your feet are.” Sometimes being in the “comfort zone” really is ok as long as you are content and present in the moment. How many times do we get caught up in what/where we think we ought to be, always working toward a new goal, but never fully appreciating where we are now and how far we’ve come?
Now, I’m not saying to stop reaching for your goals or taking risks. I’m just saying to be patient with yourself, and love where you are, even if it’s not where you plan(ned) to be.
Have a great week!
