Forget your troubles come on GET HAPPY!!!
“If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.”
— Anne Bradstreet
This past year has blessed me with my first two failures. I used to think I couldn’t fail at anything and then reality set in and I now see my failures as two of the greatest blessings thus far in my young life. I am excited to see what life has in store for me next. I hope ya’ll are enjoying the holiday season!!! As Judy Garland sang in 1950 Forget your troubles, come get happy!
“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert
“5 Things I Wish I Could Have Told Myself About Life 5 Years Ago”
I started to ponder on how much I have learned in the past year and how much I have changed. Which got me thinking about the next couple years and how much more I will learn and grow. Who I was five years ago and what mattered to me five years ago is light ages away from who I am today and what matters the most to me today.
1. The very best way to predict what someone will do in the future is to look at what they’ve done in the past
….Don’t wait around waiting for someone to be what you would like them to be. Men rarely change unless his conviction to change comes deep from within and is truly and mostly for himself and no one else. Learn to love and appreciate how amazing you are and then you will never stand for bullshit.
2. Excellence is an achievable goal – perfection is not.
….You may not be perfect but parts of you are pretty awesome. Don’t burn yourself out trying to be everything you are not. It’s ok to not do or be perfect on everything. Everyone has a bad hair day, a bad test day, a bad day at work day but you can always know every second is a chance for change. You create everyday who you want to be but just make sure your base of what you stand for is always intact.
3. You absolutely, unequivocally CANNOT please everyone
…Someone will always have a problem with you but most of the time that isn’t your problem it’s there problem. You live your life the way you see fit and right for yourself not for anyone else. You create your dreams not the girl making snide remarks or the boy who broke your heart.
4. There are very few things in life that are truly important.
You really realize this when unexpected accidents claim lives, when diseases like cancer invade and claim peace of mind, when financial struggles set in and threaten security. Love your family and friends and those who treat you right because at the end of the day these are the people who will be there for answering their phone at God awful hours just to let you know you need to stop crying and smudging your mascara.
5. The Law of Attraction is a very real and simple force. Learn to use it for benefit, and watch as your world transforms..
….if you really change your thoughts you do change your world. Whatever you want you can create and make happen. Always be positive because complaining or feeling sorry for yourself is really going to get you nowhere…sorry to say but it’s the harsh truth.
In the meantime shop til you drop,dance all those calories away, love deep, care less, laugh more and smile BIG!!!
Innocence gone bye bye. You know when you were younger and everything was seen through rose-colored glasses? When no one could hurt you or do you wrong and the people you most expected to be your strongest supporters actually were? And then those rose-colored glasses got smashed and the picture was left with some pink but a lot of bright light that yelled at you..Wake the Fuck Up! Then what you knew became skewed and what you wanted to believe was true could no longer be thus. That’s growing up. Learning that the pink is still there just usually not in the same spots it was and getting used to the new bright glare and making the most of it.
