Quotes to ponder:

"It's easy for me to dismiss these feelings. I rationalize that my busyness is just a phase, and that there’s a light-filled gateway over the horizon that will lead to a more balanced existence."

"Time goes too fast. Life marches on whether you’re living reactively or intentionally."

"Journaling helps to free and quiet my mind so I can relax, let go, and enjoy the moment."
