Notes from Jordan

Find contentment and unleash your inner free spirit.

Let go of that voice in your head that is constantly telling you that what you love and what you want is not to par with what everyone else is doing with their lives.

News Flash: Everyone is different. So, be you. And love you!

When you let go of what the world thinks about you, and you chase wildly after what it is that makes you tick, regardless of the standard…that is when you find contentment.

^ (is it sad that when i read this back to myself i think of that scene in Pocahontas when she chases after all of the the colorful leaves?)

This is a concept that I have taken on over the last month or so.

I used to think that happiness was circumstantial. That there was some criteria i was supposed to meet in order to find the secret to happiness in my young life. Whether it be the college i was going to, the friends that I had, or what I chose to do with my free time. I found myself trying to control my circumstances, which only seemed to make me feel like a prisoner of myself.

The day that you find contentment in where you are, the things you love,and the people that matter are the times when you feel a burden literally lifting off of your shoulders.

It is easy to tell somebody this is the solution, but solving for this answer is not as simple as it may sound. 

But, the one thing I will say? Let your hair down! It will always serve you well.

Once you are able to feel at home in your heart….that is when blessings come one’s way.

It is as though God conditions you before he sends you out on the field of life (to kick some butt!).

I am feeling very good about life this semester and I hope other people are feeling at home in their heart,too! :)
