Chasing Happiness

“Happiness: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you.

So sometimes it takes patience, and for you to turn your attention to other positive things to find it. The most important thing though is to not give up hope” ✨

I posted this recently on my Instagram, a place I like to keep my thoughts short and sweet because if I didn’t then we’d have a dissertation on our hands. Anyways happiness has never come easily to me. I struggle daily with it and the more I focus on how unhappy I am or how much I’m screwing things up, the further away happiness seems to be.

Do what makes your heart and soul feel good and happiness will find you.

Still coloring… ✨

Life is hard and it has this habit of knocking us on our asses (pardon the language 😘). We go through so much in our lives that we can sometimes become broken or at least feel like we are. I know I do. I feel broken and useless sometimes, whether it’s because of my lack of health or maybe it’s my struggle with faith, either way it is a daily struggle.

But even though I may feel broken and incomplete, I know I still have a purpose and that I can be useful. As difficult as it is to keep the faith, that’s all one can really do; to keep on keeping on and remember that broken crayons still color.

I’m paraphrasing, but like Hemingway said, we become stronger at the broken places and I agree. Do you?

#QuoteOfTheDay

“There is no remedy for love but to love more.”

– Henry David Thoreau

This is one of my favorite quotes and Henry David is also one of my favorites.

There’s no cure or remedy for love unless you love more and I think that’s beautiful.

Where would we be with out love?

Love Cannot be Hidden

There is no love too small that doesn’t have the power to move mountains.

Quote of the day

“Power is like being a lady… if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.”

– Margaret Thatcher

Beautiful People

My lovely and caring mother sent this to me in a text after an especially difficult night and morning. I’m so grateful for beautiful people like her in my life.

If you are struggling or feel you are in the depths of despair, please know that you are not alone. You are beautiful and strong and others like you will find their way into your life, but patience and faith are key.

Beautiful people do not just happen.

Take the First Step

It’s definitely easier said than done, but taking that first step is vital in your progression. What ever that first step may be like starting a new school, moving to a new city, changing jobs, or leaving/starting a relationship; just take the first step. These steps towards progress don’t have to be huge, they just have to be enough to make your soul feel right. Tip toe if you have to, to whatever makes your soul soar.

 

Food For thought

What you get by achieving goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.

–Henry David Thoreau

---

It’s always about the journey, even if it’s really hard. All that matters is how you get there. The destination is great, but that’s not where one makes the most memories. And memories are everything just setting goals are. Without goals in our lives to look forward to we have nothing to become or progress towards to.

Kindess

I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, Ah, I wish I was not good to that person. You will never think that.  — Khaled Hosseini

Words are powerful, so use them carefully and be kind. You’ll never know how an “innocent” word or saying can tear a person to shreds; it has happened to me. So be kind my friends and stay positive and faithful in all things.
