If You Need Some Perspective

Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

If You Need Some Perspective

It's easy to get caught up. Our culture puts pressure on us to act, look, and be a certain way. Our schedules are hectic. We have to make good grades, balance a social life, and learn how to be "adults", yet cry because we miss our dog at home a little too much. The pressure is intense, but in the midst of the craziness, we need to take a step back and look at the big picture. Isn't that what life is all about anyways? Take a moment to relax, take a deep breath, and put things in perspective.


God's plan will prevail. Trust in this and be at peace.

There is at least one person on this earth who would die for you.

Happiness is a choice.

Fall weather is coming. And that means one too many Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

You are so loved.

You WILL get a job and you WILL be successful.

You are powerful, and strong, and capable.

Don't sweat that one professor or that one test. Life goes on.

Tomorrow is a new day - cherish it.

The weekend is almost here.

So many people wish they could have your problems, insecurities, and stressors. No matter what, it could always be worse.

Despite how much you think about it, you are not defined by the past.

Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

There's never a bad time for ice cream, Nutella, or a cookie. Stop feeling guilty. Treat yo'self.

When you look in the mirror and immediately criticize, understand you are your own worst critic, and you are more beautiful than you'll ever know.

There's just 13 more Monday's until Christmas. THIRTEEN.

Your dog thinks you are the most awesome person on the planet - believe them.

You are smarter than you think. Regardless of your GPA.

Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.


So when things get crazy and life seems to win, remember that perspective is key. Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
