As I sit here reflecting on the week that's coming to a close, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, there's been so much happening—work obligations, personal commitments, and the never-ending to-do lists that seem to grow longer with each passing day. But on the other hand, there's a quiet part of me that's craving some downtime, some space to breathe and reconnect with the things that truly matter.
Yesterday, Tabitha reached out to ask if I'd be interested in contributing a guest post to her blog. My initial reaction was a mix of excitement and nerves. What could I possibly offer that would be insightful, engaging, or useful? It's not every day someone asks you to share your thoughts with a wider audience. Yet, as I sat there pondering it, I realized that maybe the best thing I could do is talk about something I'm deeply passionate about. Sometimes, sharing our own journey—warts and all—is the most powerful message we can send.
This reminded me of a book I recently read by Donald Miller called *A Million Miles in a Thousand Years*. In it, he talks about viewing our lives as stories being crafted with every decision we make. If you're not happy with the narrative you're living, it's up to you to start rewriting it. This idea struck a chord with me. Like many people, my schedule feels packed to the brim. There's always somewhere to be, something to accomplish, and deadlines looming around every corner.
At the start of this year, I decided to pause and take stock of how I was spending my time. Was I using it in ways that aligned with my values and passions? Or was I just ticking boxes on a checklist? Unfortunately, I discovered that a significant chunk of my day was going toward activities that left me feeling unfulfilled. It wasn't that these tasks were bad—they just weren't what brought me joy. Realizing this was both enlightening and humbling.
But knowing what needs to change and actually making it happen are two very different things. I've learned the hard way that trying to overhaul everything at once usually ends in burnout. Instead, I've been taking small, intentional steps to carve out space for the things that matter most. Here are a few ideas I've picked up along the way:
First, **schedule time to dream**. It sounds simple, but in our busy lives, dreaming can easily fall by the wayside. Whether it's jotting down ideas in a journal or simply letting your mind wander during a walk, giving yourself permission to imagine a better future is key. Once you've identified your dream, don't wait—start moving toward it now. Time waits for no one.
Second, **be courageous**. Change is rarely easy, but it's often necessary. Start by taking one small step toward your goal. It doesn't have to be monumental—it just has to be a step forward. Remember, even the smallest actions can lead to big shifts over time.
Third, **identify obstacles**. If fear or doubt is holding you back, acknowledge it. Write down what's standing in your way and brainstorm actionable steps to overcome it. And if there are people in your life who don't support your vision, politely but firmly set boundaries. Your dream deserves to be nurtured.
Fourth, **share your story**. No one achieves success alone. By opening up about your journey—the highs, the lows, and everything in between—you'll likely find others who resonate with your experience. Sharing not only helps you stay accountable but also builds connections that can propel you forward.
Lastly, **help someone else achieve their dream**. When you're able to uplift others, it strengthens your own resolve. Acts of kindness ripple outward in ways we can't always predict, and they often come back to enrich our own lives.
Before wrapping up, I want to leave you with this thought: Think about something you used to love doing but haven't done in ages. Maybe it's painting, hiking, or even baking cookies. Whatever it is, commit to doing it this weekend. Life is short, and we deserve moments of pure joy. Use this time to remind yourself of what brings you happiness.
Until next time, keep writing your story—one step at a time.
Happy Friday,
Briony
