Every day I try my best best to acknowledge and appreciate the good fortune in my life. Even if it is only once throughout the day, I want to always be thankful for the good things that surround me.
This chapter of my life is another wonderfully etched mile-marker of love and light. I wish to share the idea of collateral beauty. It is so pivotal in my life I feel it is important to help others try to see it.
Life is not always good and giving and beautiful. However, in times where it is harder to see these things, I do my best to notice everything going on around me. When I do this, I find the collateral beauty. I find the lesson. I find positive no matter how small a sliver it may be. I assure you it IS there.
Sometimes what troubles us is so overwhelming. We do not even think to take time and find what ever it is we are meant to learn. For me, every experience is a learning opportunity. It is very often I find the collateral beauty in the lesson.
The lesson for me is often about letting go, no regrets and no expectations. I do not regret the past, and I do not expect the future. I do my best to live now. This very moment I occupy the space I am in. This very moment where I am putting this down in words. Everything that has transpired in my life has brought me to this moment. I am grateful.
I will do my best to continue acknowledging and appreciating the good fortune that is my life ❤️

Gratitude is so closely connected to happiness and lower anxiety levels. I love this idea of collateral beauty and always find something to be grateful for no matter how rough the situation. That is a powerful way to go through life and ensure you get the most happiness out of life. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and thank you for being part of The Unsealed family. <3 Lauren

I really appreciate your feedback so much! Throughout my life I have always been this way. It wasn’t until I saw the movie collateral beauty that I could give this an actual name. I watched this movie quite a bit, and I learned something new every time. But the lesson it teaches about collateral beauty is something I tried to convey to anyone I sit down and talk with.
