Your mid week inspo

📌 Save for when you don’t know what to wear

• Monday Mantra •
“You’re creating your future memories today.”

Don’t get so busy that you forget to live.

We’re so often focused on what’s next - the next goal, the next trip, the next milestone, the next chapter - that we forget to actually be present for the one we’re living.

But one day, you’ll look back on today.

The ordinary Tuesday.
The coffee with a friend.
The spontaneous plans.
The family dinner.
The outfit you loved wearing.
The little moments you almost overlooked.

And you’ll realize these were the days you were creating memories from.

So take the moment when it’s presented to you.

Say yes to the plans.
Take the picture.
Stay a little longer.
Laugh a little louder.
Put your phone down and be there.

Don’t wait for life to become more exciting before you start living it.

Because the life you’re living right now is becoming the life you’ll one day look back on.

Make sure you’re giving your future self something beautiful to remember.

Psalm 90:12
“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.”

• Monday Mantra •
“Don’t hold your happiness hostage until something great happens.”

It seems like we are all going through life thinking:

“Once I have this, I’ll be happy”
“If I could just do this, I’ll be happy”
“When I buy this, I’ll be happy”

Unfortunately - but also fortunately - happiness doesn’t quite work like that.

We can’t put our happiness on hold while we wait for the next big thing to happen.

Because there is so much happiness waiting for us in the ordinary moments happening daily..

Hearing your favorite song.
Feeling the sun on your skin.
Laughing until your stomach hurts.
A really good meal.
Having a rainy day movie night.
A spontaneous adventure.
Or.. a quiet morning with nowhere to be.

Happiness is all around us.

Don’t miss the life you’re living while waiting for the life you think will make you happy.

The great moments are wonderful - but so are the little ones.

Philippians 4:11
“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.”

• Monday Mantra •
“Change your thoughts - change your life.”

The mind is an incredibly powerful place.
And what grows there is dependent on what you nurture.

If you’re constantly focused on everything that’s going wrong, eventually that will be all you’ll begin to notice.

So we have a choice.

We can dwell on fear, doubt, and discouragement..
or..
We can choose faith, hope, and gratitude.

Instead of saying
“nothing ever works out for me,”

Try saying
“God is aligning me with what he has planned for me.”

When you don’t understand why something is happening, challenge yourself to step back and look at the bigger picture.

Trust that God sees what you can’t.

You may not be able to control every circumstance, but you can choose the perspective you bring into it.

Our thoughts influence the way we experience life..
Let yours be rooted in truth, filled with hope, and guided by peace.

2 Corinthians 10:5
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.”
