Everyone deserves to be happy. However, as happiness is a state of mind, what we should ask ourselves is:
“How do we keep that happiness constant”?
Obviously there is no right answer to this question. Happiness is very relative_ it can be related to self development, to love, to heath and so on.
So, all those books about ‘how to be happy and live more life in 10 easy steps’ are a big lie? Well, it all depends on YOU.
You have everything in your power to be happy. Right here, right now. BUT you need to make it happen! And there is a key element that most people can’t easily find in themselves: courage!
Happiness IS an act of bravery! You can’t expect to be happy if you don’t apply any change to your life. How can you attract something good and positive to you if all you do is worrying and having negative thoughts?
A simple act of courage can truly change everything. If there is something that doesn’t make you happy as your current job position, the country you live in, the kind of people you are surrounded by, the person you live with, your body shape… all you have to do is to take that decision NOW!
I know, the first thing you are going to say is “Well, it’s not easy!”. I’d say “Well, that’s an excuse”
How many other excuses are you going to make up before making that choice?
Today, I am so happy and proud of a very good friend of mine! She has been struggling for the past 2-3 years of her life. She started working when she was still at high school and always been an hard worker, looking to improve her skills every day! She is ambitious and always wanted to invest in her future, to open her own business, to look for opportunities in a different city perhaps. But she was blocked, for some reason or maybe for someone. She’s been in a committed relationship for nearly 10 years, since she was a kid basically. And only recently realised how much of her time and energy she was investing on that. 3 years ago her dad got sick and died of cancer in about 6 months; this immensely sad event heavily affected her life decisions, her ambitions. She had to take care of her mum, making sure she was never alone. It was the darkest moment of her life, she was hurt and tired.. but you know what?? I’ve never heard her complaining for what happened to her family. She reacted. She was grieving but she knew how strong she had to be for her beloved ones. For years, she has been in a deep crisis with her boyfriend, being convinced not loving him any more but too indecisive to end the story because of his support during her dark time. A couple of months ago, she took that decision.
Free_ that’s how she was feeling!! Free to live life on her terms. And today, I wanted to briefly write her story because she made me so proud. She just communicated me, she will quit her job and move to New York with her mother!
Now, I don’t know how common that is in your country but in Italy, particularly in Napoli.. it is a HUGE life change!! Without speaking a foreign language, with no certainty about a job, with the grief and disappointment that life gave you.
But their hearts are filled with high hopes! Their love will take them wherever they want to get! Their courage will be appreciated and I’m sure their attitude will be rewarded_
So… what were you saying? Oh yes, that your life sucks because you are no longer having sex with your partner but you guys are sharing the rent_ and the dog. So that makes things impossible to be fixed and you are fated to live a miserable life when you are supposed to be living the BEST time of it.
_Please_
Stop under estimating your brain, it knows you are lying!Pull yourself together and be that person you admire. Be that super hero you wanted to be as a kid. Be that funny, inspiring teenager who loved learning something new every day! Discover yourself. Your passions, your fantasies_ don’t let fears holding you back_
Be the best version of yourself_ and do it NOW!
