Living one’s life
not knowing the buzz
of awe and wonder
is like watching the heavens
and never noticing the rainbow
or sky full of sparkling stars.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news,
my mother would say to me, “Look for the helpers.
You will always find people who are helping”.

“I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection.”

~Drake

Why do we spend so much time obsessing about mistakes and being afraid of failure? We place so much unnecessary pressure on ourselves to do things perfectly all the time that we ruin experiences that could be filled with so much joy and happiness. There is never going to be a moment that we are completely flawless, and it is unrealistic to expect ourselves to be. It is important to do the best in everything we can (school, work, dance, life), but we shouldn’t beat ourselves up about every little mistake. Enjoy being YOURSELF. Enjoy Life. Enjoy these fleeting moments, because they don’t last forever. Goodnight everyone. 🙂
