Where are you in life right now? Sometimes we’re so focused on the past (which we cannot change) or the future (worrying about what might never take place) that we fail to fully experience the present.
Keep a list for a week or so of all the things that come your way that bring unexpected pleasure. Look for the good things—the little things. Celebrate the joys. And yes, make note, also, of the unexpected struggles you encounter. If at some point you are able to see how the difficulties helped you to grow in some way, include that information, too.
Some people keep regular journals, recording every detail of their lives, and enjoy looking back after awhile to remember their past experiences. But even if you’re not a journaler, taking the time to record events and feelings from time to time can help you later to see how you’ve grown over the years.
Happy writing—

I just moved and went back through some of my journals. It's hilarious!
