Everything changes, everything stays the same

Every morning I start my day by writing into my Journey journal. I’ve been writing in it for 7 years now.

What I love about the app is that it shows me entries from that day from the previous years. Which means I can see, sometimes, if I’ve been consistent, 7 entries of what I was going through.

The most fascinating thing is how much and how little has changed. 

In almost every situation, I’ve achieved the things I dreamed about years ago.

In other situations, I worry about the same things. My health. Money. My relationships. Will I ever have time to rest?

It’s such a great reminder of how time is going to pass regardless.

The things that worry you won’t matter in 1, 3, 7 years from now.

At the same time, it’s a nudge to just live the life and do what you want now, because time passes by very fast.

And the worst thing you can read are entries of you wishing for the same things every year, hoping that day will come.
