Happiness doesn’t simply fall into your lap.
It isn’t a gift that Lady Luck generously showers upon you, only for fate to take it away again someday.
Perhaps the most important realization is this:
Your happiness is largely in your own hands.
You don’t become happy overnight.
Happiness grows step by step.
Through the way you think.
The way you act.
The way you deal with whatever life brings your way.
As the saying goes:
You are the maker of your own happiness.
But creating happiness takes work.
It takes time. Patience. And sometimes the courage to change something.
To take everything off, to be naked, and to show yourself exactly as you are.
Because if you want to live a happier life, it isn’t enough to simply wait for your life to change.
You have to be willing to change yourself.
Your habits.
Your thoughts.
Your expectations.
And sometimes even the stories you’ve been telling yourself about who you are for years.
But there is also something incredibly liberating about this:
You don’t have to wait for happiness to come to you.
You can start moving toward it.
Right now. Today.
What are you waiting for?
The biggest mistake is believing you still have time.
All my love
Yours,
