Tell Yourself - I Am Going To Be Happy No Matter What!

“Don’t wait until everything is just right.
It will never be perfect.
There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions.
So what.
Get started now.
With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger,
more and more skilled, more and more self-confident
and more and more successful.”
–Mark Victor Hansen

I am guilty of waiting until everything is right, for instance, I am saving this outfit for the perfect occasion, only for me to gain weight and it's still hanging in my closet unworn, because that occasion wasn't what I deemed special. When in reality everyday is special. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. Live for today, for tomorrow is promised to no-one.

Happy people have an amazing attitude. They choose to be positive and grateful for what they have, even if it isn't much. That will determine how you're going to live the rest of your life. Don't think you have anything to be grateful for? Look a little harder, it's still exists. Ultimately, your greatest achievements are moments in time when what you’re doing allows you to see how wonderful your life already is.

 The biggest enslavement we can do to ourselves is to fear what other people think.  You can't let what others tell you who or what you are.  Your life is more important than what people think of you.  Don't let them make you feel guilty for living your life.  It's YOUR life!  As long as you're not hurting anyone else, live it your way.  

Don't let your past hinder your present and future.  Look straight ahead, forgive, move forward.  If your past didn't turn out like you'd hoped, it doesn't mean your future can't be better.  In the dark times we grow stronger.  Insight gives you the ability to rebuild yourself.  As long as your breathing it's never too late.  Today is a new day, a new beginning.

Life is a constant cycle.  It is forever changing, we need to adapt and change with it.  When one door closes another opens.  We can't control everything, let go of the things you have no control over.  Live, learn, forgive, and let go. 

Some forces are out of your control, you can control how you react to things.  Everyone of us have positive and negative aspects, whether you're happy or not depends greatly on which aspects you focus on.  The best thing you can do for yourself is invest in your own personal development.  Invest your energy in things you can control, do your best, love generously, be truthful, and leave the rest to the Lord.

Will there ever be challenges?  Absolutely!  They make life interesting, overcoming them makes life meaningful.  Don't wait until everything is just right; it will NEVER be perfect.  With each step you take you will get stronger, more skilled, more confident, and more successful.

Tell yourself:  I will live a happy life no matter what!  No matter what happens, be grateful for what you are learning.  You won't enjoy life if you don't enjoy your challenges.

Smile, and value what you have.  Enjoy the people, events in your life.  I am having to learn that it's not all about achieving all the time. Make up your mind that you are going to be happy no matter what.

Count your blessings more often than you count your money, we would be a lot richer.  Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life for yourself.  I have been so engrossed lately in trying to grow my business, that I have neglected the most important things in my life.  Not good. 

To be happy = Do your best and appreciate what you have.

To be unhappy = Comparing yourself to others and the things they have.

It is nice to have money for the things we need to buy, but it's also important to make sure you haven't lost track of the things that money can't buy.  Good friends and a loving family are worth their weight in gold.  It really is the little things that mean the most!  A long hug at the right moment.

Make your time count.  Do you wish your moments away?  You can ruin today by focusing on another time and place.  There is only now. I had this thought today as I was driving home from getting my labs done.  I have been creating my history, my legacy.. Did I let life slip me by without being aware of it?  What have I accomplished?  Did I leave good memories?  Happiness is the journey, open your eyes.  Don't miss out.

I know that you can't be happy 100% of the time. Let's face it, there is no such thing as constant happiness.  That's just not natural. 

I feel I have held back on doing things in life because of what you are "supposed to do or who you are supposed to be" and I have finally broke those chains and I'm just trying to live life to the fullest and live from my heart and not my head all the time. 

Focus on living a well-rounded happy life.  Work on your personal development and forget the things you can't change.  Life is too short to stress over everything.  Believe me I know a little about stress.  Stress causes numerous health problems.  We are striving to get healthy. :)
