In my dreams I have wings...
BIG, beautiful, colorful butterfly wings. I'd fly around all day with my magic glitter dust and help people see, feel, hear and KNOW exactly what it'd take for them to be happy.
Except I'm not a Goddess butterfly with magical fairy happy dust...
And HAPPY isn't a thing... a recipe... or a formula.
On my own journey to unravel the mystery of "how to be happy" I've discovered what I believe is the truth... the secret that most aren't willing to share...
they'd find it harder to sell you crap you don't need, pills you probably shouldn't take, or some other hunk of plastic nonsense that's the latest rage.
Here's the secret... ready?
Happiness is a moving target. It is a daily, hourly, and possibly by the minute process.
It's acknowledging and acting on the knowing in your soul that you don't want to do something, that you don't want to be with someone, or that something about a situation is "off".
It is knowing yourself enough to know what brings you joy, who feels good to be around, what feels fun, light and free ... and consciously CHOOSING to be with those people and engage in those activities.
Avoiding unhappiness does not automatically bring happiness. You must also constantly consciously cultivate the happiness and joy you want to experience.
It's not in a pill, a drink or something you can buy.
It's often in nature, in a moment of connection with a friend or family member, or in a unique experience you'll cherish for a lifetime.
It is found in avoiding unhappiness AND creating and cultivating more happiness.
How do you create and cultivate YOUR happy? Please share below... you may just give someone else the gift of a new way to bring happy into their own life! ðŸ˜Š

When someone shows you who they are... BELIEVE THEM! This turn of phrase comes up a lot when someone is acting out in our life. When someone has been consistently rude, isn't treating us well, or has been showing their true colors in some nasty or devious way. It's particularly apropos in those moments for sure... But what about the flip side? I also like to consider this thought when someone is showing their heart. When they call to see how you're doing when they know you've been struggling, when they offer to get up super early to take you to the airport, or bring you soup when your home sick. They are showing you their heart! Showing their quality of character... demonstrating the kind of awesome person they are. Let's not take that for granted! Let's appreciate the heck out of it! Let's surround ourselves with MORE people like this! Better yet... let's BE this person! The one that treats others how we want to be treated...
