You can operate through life in two ways: Paying attention or not. Are you paying attention? What I mean is are you listening to the words being spoken to you? Are you remembering the things that really push your buttons and set you off? Are you being mindful of the lessons that are unfolding for you every single day?

The details were what needed to happen in order for you to get where you are right now. Guess what? The details never f&cking matter though…only the bigger picture does.

If you start paying attention to what is being taught AS it’s being taught…the details totally disappear and all you’re left with is gratitude from the start. Today’s Daily Affirmation is:
