“Live the life you’d be envious of if you saw someone else living it. This is my personal mantra. Whenever I’m going through a difficult time, like a breakup, and I’m wishing to be the person who could get over it and move on, I tell myself to be that person. Instead of waiting to be inspired by someone else and being jealous that they’re living a life I wish I had, I tell myself not to wait for that moment and to start being the person I want to be. If you wish you were the woman who went for that big promotion, learned a second language, dumped that guy who cheated on you, then just be that person. Think, if I have the energy to wish for it, I have the energy to do it.”

I love this quote. This is basically what I have always believed for a long time, I've just never put it so eloquently.
Lately, however, I've been feeling a bit sore. Basically, it's because I know I haven't been living by it. I haven't been taking any chances, and I haven't been meeting my goals.
There are SO many things that I want to do in my life. I'm a person that really loves to plan, set goals and think about the future, and sometimes that can be really stressful for me because more often than not, these things just don't happen. Sometimes it's because it just doesn't work out, but a lot of the time it's because I'm not putting the effort in.
I want to change that.
It's not going to happen overnight, but it's going to start now. I just want to make sure that I'm living life properly, and not wasting my time. I know that sounds so weird, but the thought freaks me out. It's like my biggest fear in life and sometimes I really get quite anxious about it.
Anyway, I'm sounding a bit depressing now and that's not what I want at all! Here is a cool saying from sprinkleofglitter (who has a great youtube channel) to inspire everyone:
This quote is amazing :)
