Destination.

I am blown away by the number of people that read my last blog..over 250 people! Thank you so much! :) So here I am writing another one, I hope to get the same response. 

I recently bought a new book (shocking I know) and its Demi Lovato’s Staying Strong 365 days a year. Each day she finds a quote and reflects on it. So far my favorite is 

“One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things” - Henry Miller. 

This had me thinking of what it really means and what it means to me. It reminds me of traveling and traveling is one of my favorite things to do. I hope to see the world one day and I know I will make it happen because it’s something I am so passionate about. I have been to over half of the 50 states at least. Since moving out to New York I have been fortunate enough to see many things and have had family come out and see things with me. There are so many things that I will not forget that I have seen so far in my life. 

From all the places I have traveled to and I look back on that I look at the things that we take for granted everyday. Here in NYC you see so many homeless people walking around without shoes or the proper clothing. It makes me realize that I need to stop taking things for granted and be thankful for what I have and make the most of it. 

I also think to many people look at others and judge them and you don’t know their story. When my mom, sister, and Tracy came out to New York they said they would like to know everyone’s story. Which I think is awesome because who doesn’t wanna know something about someone. This takes me onto the next quote that I found in the book and thought it was perfect. 

“Every life has a purpose. Share your story and you may help someone find their own.” 

My recent story is that I was getting sick of South Dakota and knew that their was more out there for me and I wanted to see what it was. And me being the one to love to travel I came upon this great job offer and took it and two weeks later I am in New York. It hasn’t been easy by any means but I stuck it out a year like I said I would and now it’s been a year and a half since I have been here, crazy. I hope by sharing my most recent story that is helps someone pursue something wild and just go out there and do it. Don’t have second thoughts about it, just do it. Yes it is hard at times but you have people there for you to talk to and to lean on for advice and to get you through the tough times. Who knows where life is going to take me next but I know I am ready for it.

I challenge you to not judge someone by their cover, to get their story, and to share yours. 

Hope you enjoy this post!
