Relax! Eat those double chocolate muffins more slowly; sit and watch the birds; always make time to write. Good or bad, this too shall pass, so take a moment to savour it--to reflect upon it--before it does.
After all, the Dark-eyed Juncos outside the window will not tell you anything about life if you never stop to ask. Let your eyes wander and your mind roam and let no one tell you how you should live. You were not put here to worry whether you are living a good life, but to live it; so feel it out and think not too hard about it.
It's all very well and good to know where you wish to go: if you focus you will get there one day; but do not chase your dreams so fast as to overlook the present. You can be only where you are now; if you spend your whole life trying to make it "there" then you will never fully be here.
Life should be a short walk, not a long drive; so go where your feet take you, not where the road dictates.
