Happiness (Wisdom Wednesday)

I'll make this one short and simple because it is short and simple...

I used to always say...."I just wanna be happy" ...very similar to that leona lewis song called "happy."
Especially during this time in my life where I am not in the place where I imagined I'd be but that by no means should equate to being unhappy right?

And that's what I have to remember is that HAPPINESS is not an end goal. Happiness is a temporary emotion...A temporary state. There are plenty of events and incidents that you will encounter that will alter that state of happiness, but you have to know that it will return. Not exactly when you want it to or how you want it to, but it will return.

As much as I hate to tell you this, but happiness isn't constant. Its ever changing. But, I will tell you that it makes you appreciate those moments of happiness even more. You will cherish them, love them more, embrace them, because it will come and it will go. That's reality.

But to hold on to those bits of happiness during those rough patches in your life find simple things that you love from day to day to balance out the unhappiness feeling in your life. Whether its treating yourself to a dinner out, cooking your favorite food/dessert, or going on a mini shopping spree, whatever it is find those little things to bring that spark of happiness back into your life while you are on your journey to get where you want to be.

One last thing...

NEVER EVER EVER STOP FIGHTING FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE...

 FIGHTING IS CONTINUOUS.

With that being said...listen to leonas words a little bit closer this time...
