It may be raining where you are or it may be sunny... My question is are you happy if you don't have money? ((I'm working on being a rapper...just kidding!))
But seriously, do you feel like there is a dark cloud over your life? Where you just cant seem to find shade or a sunny patch?
What is happiness? Lets look up the definition:
According to Miriam-Webster ((the master of all dictionaries)) a state of well-being and contentment.
Are you well and are you content?
In today's society, I find that many people are not content with their lives. For those who are single, they are lonely looking for a mate. For those who are married, they are upset with where they are and want to be further. When does being exactly where you are and being content actually happen. I understand the "grind" and the desire to be and do more. But, as you strive how do you sit and say "I AM HAPPY."
#1 Name 3 simple actions that make you feel happy, ones that you can control. For me: I LOVE dancing, eating, and reading.
#2 Make a time each day to do one of your "happy actions". Even if it starts out at 5 minutes.
#3 Choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice. As I always say, it begins with mindset. No matter your weight, relationship status, or money situation. You can choose RIGHT NOW to be happy.
#4 Start a gratitude journal. In which you write everyday, 5 things you are grateful for.
I still want you to live in reality, if you are in an abusive relationship, or on drugs or something really severe, still face your issues. But you can still look on the positive side of each scenario. Find something to be grateful for each day. It keeps you grounded.
So what if Im not happy with:
i.e. your weight- if You do not like you weight, but everyday you mope, sit, and are depressed about it. Does that really help your situation? NO! GET UP! Even if it is in 10 minutes intervals you can slowly begin to be more active. Build a healthy lifestyle, not just a diet a lifestyle. Sidenote: Majority of those who GO ON DIETS...COME OFF DIETS. Also doubling or tripling the weight they lost because they were deprived of the food they loved.
i.e. relationships- if you are not happy in your relationship, ask yourself why are you staying? FEAR? Fear of loneliness? Fear of being able to survive on your own? Fear of rejection?
Is it better to live unhappy or happy it is your choice. Understand that if you look back on your life, Im sure you have been through worse.
Live Happily Now, Be who you dream, and Do what you've always wanted! What the heck are you waiting for?!?
I know these are supposed to be short, so I'll step down from my soapbox. But I hope you get it. You only live one life. Do what truly makes you happy.
For me and my house we worship the Lord.
Till next time,

I become happier when i pursue things i want/ wnat to improve on and see result. small positive changes. Meanwhile, more money in the pocket I believe enables one to become more content; e.g if one likes to dance, eat, and read, more money can buy books, get high quality dance lessons and eat healthier or high end cuisine. Self Discipline - Self Motivation - Money helps for More Happiness.
