Hi everyone,

Stop and Smell the Roses really summarizes my daily activity now.

For me, time is too precious to waste.

It might seem like wasting time to pause and reflect on my life and events around me, but its not.

How else can I gain clarity and insure that what I am doing will provide the maximum benefits to me, my family, friends and my life?

I probably should have done this a long time ago, but the past is past.

I was always super focused on my work.

Now Melissa Jeane gets a lot more of my time.

I re-evaluate my businesses and what I am doing every day.

I have a vision of where I would like them to go, but no hard goals, because life comes first.

I might catch the sun shining so it will be time to walk and soak in the sun. Natural Vit D is the best. :-)

Melissa Jeane might want to do some more Roblox and on and on it goes.

I don't think I can do too much self reflection.

The world is changing fast. I hope it will do so for the best. Time will tell.

I hope you are having a Happy FriSatSu!

To Our Success!

Mel Waller

Reflection is part of our life journey. It is vital that we pause and reflect so that we can learn, grow and make adjustments. Then we are able to move forward with a new perspective about ourselves and life in general. Appreciate the share!

Wishing you the very best!

Kind regardds,

You are so right, Mel. And here in the UK, where sunshine is precious I do try to make the most of it when we have it - especially since watching the health Vitamin D podcast you recommended a while back.

I like your quote - '...because life comes first.' I have made it a rule for myself - right from when I started back at Wealthy Affiliate last December - that family will always come first. So - in spite of having goals, working on them gets slotted in when there is spare time.

Thanks for sharing Isabella! I was only in the UK one day and it was cloudy.

My granddaughter has spent most of the past academic year in the South of France as part of her French degree - full of Instagram posts of sunshine, blue skies, lovely sea and beaches. And sitting there in sleeveless tops - and we were freezing in England... So we do appreciate the sun and blue sky when we get them.

That sounds lovely Isabella. :-)

Hey Mel,

Loved this one such a solid reminder that living comes before hustling.

Spending time with Melissa Jeane, soaking up the sun, reflecting on your path that’s the stuff that lasts. I’m starting to feel that shift too. Goals are great, but presence is greater.

Appreciate your wisdom, as always. Here’s to more sunshine, more Roblox, and more of what matters most

Hi Mel, Thank you for your important message. So True! I went outside yesterday and appreciated how the sunlight reflected off the water as I walked along a canal. As I did this I began to experience joy over the simple things in life. Good message, Rhonda
