Find the Happiness You Deserve

 

Find the Happiness You Deserve
by Jane Powell

 

“Happiness is not the destination.”

 

Many women slog for a lifetime looking for happiness. They feel guilty  doing things they enjoy. So they take care of their jobs, their families, their children and their pets thinking that the time for happiness will come later. In the end, they discover that it doesn’t.

 

Believe that you DESERVE happiness right now!

 

You know those early hours in the morning when the house is quiet and the mist is floating outside the window? THAT is happiness. Remember how it felt to hold your baby for the first time? THAT is happiness. Remember how you felt when you achieved what seemed like an impossible goal? THAT is happiness.

 

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some 5 balls in the air.
You name them - work, family, health, friends and spirit. And you are keeping all of these in the air.

 

You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.

 

But the other four balls - family, friends, health and spirit are made of glass.
If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed or damaged or even shattered.
They will be never the same.

 

You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

 

Start each day the way you wish to live it. Take positive control of your thoughts, your actions, your feelings and your attitude before some random occurrence ends up imposing its perspective on you.
Be open to the surprises while also being decisive and focused about what you intend to do. Get a few nice accomplishments under your belt early on, and set an effective, empowering pace for the whole day.

 

Right away, find some new thing for which to be thankful. Your sincere gratitude will shine its light on the best of the day's possibilities.

 

When you feel a worry coming, move quickly to transform it into creative action. If it seems that you're beginning to be overwhelmed, focus intently on whatever is most important to you.

 

While the day is young, decide on some new way that you can make a meaningful difference for others. Then start taking the steps that will make it happen.

 

Give yourself some real power and effectiveness by beginning each day in a joyfully decisive and lovingly purposeful way. And life grows richer with each passing hour.
