Knowing what we want to achieve and then fulfilling that desire provides us with a true sense of self accomplishment. When that desire is peace and happiness and it is achieved, true life contentment settles in. That’s my belief.
I’ve spent hours… days… perhaps even weeks, thinking about how I’ve spent the past few decades of my life. I am proud of my accomplishments, and with that I feel much contentment. I am accomplished in so many areas of my life including family, friends, and career. Life goals for me included having children, enjoying every moment of their childhood, and raising them into what I believed to be good and kind human beings. My mission has been accomplished. My children are adults now and have careers of their own. Their life journeys are continuing as new chapters open for them, all of which is exciting for me being a spectator as I watch my children create and accomplish their own life goals.
” Being happy and content with yourself is very important. No one else will can orchestrate or ensure it for you. This is something that is a ‘do it yourself’ task.”
Sometimes when we are broken, feeling afraid and alone … that is when we find the courage inside of us that we never knew was there. It is then, in those moments, when we have only ourselves to depend upon to make some of the biggest decisions of our lives, that we are able to hear the inner voice that has been inside of us all along. Our courageous self will speak up and say “You are worth it and you deserve the best for yourself. Do what you need to do to be happy”.
Peace and happiness aren’t guaranteed in life.
We must be willing to pursue those things. Determining our own self worth is paramount. When we decide to focus on taking care of ourselves, it is only then that our courage shines through and we become strong.
Thank the people who support you throughout your journey. There will be some whom you know will always be there for you. Some are silently walking along the side of the path that you’re on, and you need only to reach out and let them know if you need them and they will be right there with you… beside you and helping you with anything you need. Others will be more vocal and support you openly — for anyone to see — and they will inspire and actively push or pull you through situations to ensure that you’re okay and that you keep moving forward every single day. And then there will be these rare and beautiful individuals who will come forward, whom you never anticipated would come… the people who will bring tears to your eyes when you think back on your journey years later… the ones you didn’t realize even knew much about you.
All of these incredible people have the human kindness and love within them to know that we are all individuals who have the desire to be — and more importantly deserve to be — happy and they are willing to stand beside and support every human being in achieving and maintaining peace and happiness.
Achieving this may sometimes feel like an unsure reality, but through perseverance of character, strength and support and with a continued life goal of peace and happiness, you can and will achieve all that you dream of.
I’m a proud mom, a friend to many, and have a profound belief in human kindness.
My goal to live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life includes my love to write about things that resonate with me. My gift to you is sharing my perspective on living a happy life.
