just breathe.

one day at a time.

this is what i've been telling myself alot lately. 

because quite frankly, this past week i have become a hot mess diva. 

so many crazy things are flying around in my head, so many decisions are having to be made, 

and im just like 

whether it be becoming overwhelmed with a bajillon assignments that are all due in the same week, fighting the urge to give in and send that one text that i'll ultimately end up regretting but i still want to send it just to make the feeling of "what if" stop driving me crazy or even starting my grad school applications, it's just a whirlwind of craziness in my head.  

but i have to often times remind myself that only way we can get through any and everything is to literally take life one day at time.

finding inner peace and becoming honestly okay with change takes time. we can't rush through the bad or overwhelming moments simply because we're anxious for the good. without the bad moments, the good moments won't seem as good. you follow me?

for example.

let's take it back to Auntie Bey. 

way back in the 90's when her and the rest of Destiny's Child were just teenagers looking for a deal, it didn't just happen in a day. they got rejected from multiple record labels until one day. BOOM. signed, sealed, delivered and the rest is history. 

just think, what if in the midst of their rejection, they just gave up? no. they waited patiently for things to fall in place. 

the same can be said for life. when things keep going wrong or maybe when that profound euphoric moment of peace and clarity hasn't happened yet. just wait on it.

mediocre things happen in a moment.

BUT 

amazingly awesome fabulous things take precious time. 

we all know that you can't rush greatness, and let's face it. we all want great things to prosper in our life. 

so let's just all exhale, and leave it up to big man upstairs. he knows exactly what he's doing and in due time, he'll show us. 

and when it all comes together, we'll be like BOOM! 

fabulousness and sparkle for my life! 

so when you start getting fidgety and wanting to rush your blessings and clarity just remind yourself to take one day at a time, because we cannot rush God's blessings for us.
