Happiness

I came across this super fabulous article about happiness today and it really resonated with me. Often times, we get caught up in the silly things and forget to slow down to enjoy the life we're given. I mean, truly enjoy it. 

Forget about how your butt looks in those jeans, if your make up is perfect, what someone will think if you laugh a little bit too loud or whether your house is big enough, fancy enough, clean enough, etc. NONE of those things even matter. Read that again. None of those things even matter. Do you know what does matter? How you feel. The way you make others feel. Being kind. Loving fully. Living life and soaking in all the moments, even the not so enjoyable times. It's all life experience. The legacy you leave behind will not include the house you lived in, the car you drove, the purse you carried or clothes you wore. People will remember how you treated them and how you made them feel. They will also remember if you were boastful or humble. You get to choose which you would rather be.

Happiness involves actively living in a way which brings good, content, joyful feelings. It doesn't just happen. It's up to you to choose happiness. Once you've made the decision to truly BE happy, make sure to share your happiness with others.

The End.
