Finding Something You Weren't Expecting to Find...

Milestones in our lives often act as friendly reminders that everything happens for a reason, and that all of the life lessons, experiences and set backs were worth it at the end of our destination. For me, the milestones have acted as the means of measuring my successes and failures. I am my toughest critic and often sacrifice my own happiness for others, see my accomplishments as just the beginning and dream of what the future holds instead of living in the present. That was until my last milestone, which is actually a combination of two huge accomplishments in my eyes;  college graduation and landing my dream job.

Leading up to my latest milestone I actually found my sweet serendipity; measuring my successes in terms of the people and community I have created for myself. I also found out the measure of what the human body can endure, mentally, physically and emotionally and  I challenged myself to go out and live the rest of my life to the furthest breaking through my comfort zones and embracing the people and experiences I enjoy and those that scare me the most.

One of my NEW favorite songs explains this perfectly. Trevor Hall- Lime Tree http://youtu.be/65V8-h5k_JA

Sweet Serendipity is all about finding the breathtakingly beautiful somethings you never expected to find. As I prepare to take on my future I know I have a strong support system and because of that my journey and experiences will continue to be for us all. My passions and dreams will continue, but the sweetest destination has already been reached; finding the people you love, and those who love you back.
