Think back to the age when you were most hopeful for the future. You dreamed about what you would be, who you would marry and what color of picket fence you would align your yard with. Now take a look at your life now... Is it what you dreamed of as a little girl?
Likelihood is probably not - not to be negative - but stop and take a look through the eyes of realism. Why is it people can not find happiness in the lives we make for ourselves? We are the creators and decision makers of our own lives, right?
The truth is, life is not what we dream about as a little girl. Things complicate it, life happens and people change. So how do we find happiness in the realism?
There has to be something that drives us... something that helps us carry on... Before answering, think again... Is that what truly makes you happy?
For me it is simple, I love myself. That is how I carry on. You must love yourself before you can have inner happiness. Before you can reach the top of Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, you have to meet the basics needs. Loving yourself should be number one. Put yourself first for once and you may not be so disappointed when everyone/everything falls through.
Ahhh... feels good for once.
