Love Life, Be Brave

When I first started drafting this post, I double checked like six times to make sure I hadn't already written one on this topic.  And I was shocked that I hadn't.  "Love life, be brave" is basically my life's motto.


This past fall, after searching for a simple silver cuff to accompany my watches, I stumbled upon this shop on Etsy.  Her bracelets are perfectly simple and very reasonably priced.  And immediately I fell in love with the quote stamped on this bracelet.  I ordered it immediately and I have worn it almost every single day since it arrived.

I  love the simplicity of the quote.  How much easier could it be than to love life and to be brave?? It's become somewhat of a mantra for me.

Loving life is something that has become easier for me over the years.  Some days, I stop for a minute and just realize how great things are, and how truly lucky I am.  Being brave is something that is harder for me.  I struggle with a lot of social situations and have to physically force myself to interact with people.  But the more I do, the easier it is and the happier I get. I think everyone benefits from taking risks and trying new things, and I love that this bracelet reminds me to do so every day.

I think everyone should have that one mantra they repeat in their heads to help them get through tough situations.  I know that if I live by these words I can make my life into the life I imagine myself living.
