One of the important components of balance is being able to accept where we are right now AND also accept that we want to work towards a bigger goal.

We've all heard the mantra about "embracing the journey" - easy to say and much harder to do. But I've found that by asking myself this one simple question when I need it gives me the boost that I need to be able to better appreciate all of the simple pleasures and the small things in my every day.

And the question is this:
"If you knew it was inevitable that today would be an amazing day, what would you do?"

Asking yourself this might be just what you need to bring in those small, simple touches of ease, simplicity and pleasure. Allowing you to experience  your not-so-far-off dream life in your daily life.
