“I am responsible for my own happiness”
Seriously, how many times have I shared this? It’s so incredibly simple to grasp, yet hard to put into practice.
Things go wrong, you rant and rave, you question your sanity, your faith, your family and friends . . .
Who’s to blame? Why do we need someone or some thing to blame? I’m guilty – I admit it. Don’t like it, but there it is. I play the “blame game”.
Sometimes life puts you in a situation that you didn’t ask for, you do not deserve, and is not fair.
How do you get through those times? Inner strength and being responsible for yourself. I didn’t ask to be a single woman at this stage of my life. Yet I have learned to embrace this speed bump in life, and find my inner peace. I strive every day to be responsible for my spirit’s happiness.
I rise above!
When I was at my lowest post divorce, I knew I had to take charge of my own life, my own recovery and my own happiness. I found a group of friends. I wrote. I learned to blog. I wrote and published a book. I blogged some more. I found new friends, activities, goals.
None of this would’ve happened if that speed bump in my life had not happened.
Embrace your speed bumps as an opportunity to be responsible for your own happiness. It’s there.
