I was talking to a friend who always say I was too happy. My friend mentioned a disadvantage of being too happy. Like it’s not real. Not authentic. I never thought it was a thing. I mean we go through stages of life of being happy, unhappy, depressed, sad etc. I think we set goals and happiness comes along once we meet those goals. So then it changes right?! As you grow. You change what makes you happy. Now to me happiness is being content. When life is simple. When you can see beauty in little things verse big, major things.

We all have had bad times in our life so now we can appreciate the little things. Being happy is a big goal. Pain still carries in our hearts but how amazing when we can see beauty in little things. When people around us bring out the best of us and we love life. Fully. Happiness. Pure joy.

So what’s this being too happy about. I had to look it up and found an article.

So maybe being too happy to some may seem bad. I won’t lie. I have my good and bad days. I can snap and just like everyone else need my alone time but I also realized that my happiness changes based on my audience. When I can be my true self. Without being on guard. I am 100% a ray of sunshine. Happy. Bright. When I am on guard. Overwhelmed or need to watch what I say or do I am not.

I think most of us can relate to that. Bottom line your happiness varies based on what makes you happy in life. Simple things make me happy. Good company. Good conversation. Me being real.

What makes you happy?

Live In Balance

Forgive. Let go. Move on. Have balance. Have happy times.

This week I was great and then a memory popped up. I said out loud why am I thinking of this person or situation.

It was ok to let it bring me down but then I had to say let it go. Keep going. Right! Isn’t that life? You just keep going.

Stay positive and motivated.

Live in the Now

Sometimes it’s all in your head. Really it is. Sometimes we think about situations and it triggers an emotion in us. What if we lived in real time. The present moment. We would have so much less to be sad or worry or mad about. We wouldn’t stress like we do. Let’s try it. Let’s forget the past. Forget past hurt and pain and anger. Live at this current, present, moment.

Let go of what should have been or could have been or would have been. That life is gone. Anything this year that let go of you means time for you to let go of them. Any love you have for someone who didn’t reciprocate it to you doesn’t deserve to be lingering in your mind.

Stop. Let it all go. Now live in the present moment. Focus on what’s around you NOW. Who is around you. What you need now. Not then. Not the past. Not the future. Now.
