As I sit here…

Posted on by Joanna

Here I am, waiting…
Learning patience everyday!
I sit here and wait.

My day will come.
I just know it, so I wait.
Patience is a skill.

I’m perfecting it.
I get better and better –
Everyday, I wait.

I get discouraged.
But, I never stop learning.
There is a reason.

I don’t know it yet.
But, I will when it happens –
And, I will love it!

So, I patiently –
Wait for that; my best day –
It’s in front of me.

And, as I sit here…
I question, and learn a lot.
Preparing myself.

That day is coming.
It’s just around the corner.
So, I keep the faith.

And, as I sit here…
I start to pray about it, and –
I ask for patience…

…Until that day where –
All my dreams will come true, so –
I sit here and wait –

patiently…

Thanks for reading!

Glow-up…

Posted on by Joanna

What happened to you?
Something seems so different…
Explain it to me?

Something has changed…
Can’t put my finger on it…
What could it be?

I like the old you.
Is this some sort of phase?
When will you be done?

. . .

I’ve simply changed…
I learned some life lessons,
I’ve gone through a lot.

Life isn’t the same.
I see things differently.
Times change people.

I like this new me.
It’s a great version of me.
From learning and growth.

This is my glow-up.
I do not care what you think.
I like this new me!

Maybe it’s your turn –
You should try this great “new thing”.
It’s called “growing-up”.

Thanks for reading!
Keep learning, growing and changing, it’s the best part of life! And, don’t worry about what other people think. Just focus on you, and your growth, & surprise people along the way!

Two sides to everything…

Posted on by Joanna

Sometimes you just have to turn around and look behind you for a second.
It might change a lot more than you think!

. . .

Location of picture:

bridgeCortina Puclaro
25 minutes from Vicuña, Chile
50 minutes from La Serena, Chile

. . .

While taking the picture above, I was drawn to the lake because the sun was shining directly on it and it seemed like the perfect picture of a lake in the middle of the mountains.
I didn’t really think of taking a picture on the other side because the sun was shining directly at my camera and the view didn’t seem as good, but I took one just to see what it would look like and, it actually came out amazing.
I, then, realized that the sun setting behind the mountains, the sun flair on my camera and, the river going through the mountains was a really good picture and I was glad I decided to take both pictures.

. . .

So, why am I sharing this story?
Well, after taking a picture of both sides of this bridge, I realized that it was kind of a metaphor for life.
You see, sometimes we can get stuck just looking at one side of things in our life, and we are happy with it because we think it’s a great view.
But, it’s not until we turn around that we realize that we should have turned around much earlier because there was so much more amazing things waiting for us, and all we had to do was turn around and shift our perspective.

And, it’s really quite a simple concept.
You just turn around to shift your focus, and watch your perspective change.
And, that small shift in your perspective could change your whole world.

One simple shift in your focus
could change your entire perspective of your life!

Thanks for reading! I hope this post inspired you to change your perspective every now and then; and, if you’d like to read more about perspective, check out this post: Perspective… / A Day in Valparaiso, Chile!
