Discovering your own Success & Happiness
You will feel unsettled because you know you’re meant for more. I’m in a phase (again!) where God is pulling on my heartstrings, pushing me out of my comfort zone, peeling back many more layers. But, Success and Happiness is relative.
I do believe a large part of my existence is to help people discover the kind of success and happiness that exists on their own terms.
Take time to figure out what moves you, what you deeply crave from life, and have the courage to pursue that. Have the courage to believe that you are deserving of EVERYTHING you desire. You have a fire inside of you, never let convenience, comfort, or any easiness of standing still put it out.
Find the kind of love that makes you a better person. The kind of love that inspires to be a better man or woman, the kind of love that believes in you, supports you, stands by your side. Find someone who quickly becomes your favorite thing — someone who makes the fall less fearful. Find someone who shows you just how deeply you can feel, just how deeply you can love. I hope you find something real, because nothing is more beautiful than loving someone who loves you back. Nothing is more beautiful than loving someone who builds you a home in their heart.
Find acceptance. The kind that quiets the voice inside of you that tells you that you are not good enough or that you have fallen behind. Forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made, for the past you keep alive inside of you. Learn to let go of the things you had to do in order to heal, to grow and to survive. You are doing your best. You are human. Never forget that.
Most of all, find yourself out there. Figure out your heart, figure out your mind. Learn how to be kind to yourself, how to embrace the journey you are on. Learn how to be proud of the person you are becoming, learn how to be proud of where you are — even if it isn’t exactly where you want to be. Learn to fall in love with the process, with the messiness of life and the confusion of it all.
