I used to think that if I was successful and could buy anything, that would make me happy.
I once believed that life was all about big events, milestones and the grandness of it all.
I thought having all the material possessions would be all I would need.
I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Somewhere along the way, I realized that is not at all what happiness is.
It doesn’t matter how much money I have or how fancy my car is..
How large my house is or how extravagant my lifestyle was never made me happy..
In fact, it made me feel more empty than ever.
It wasn’t until I stepped back from the hustle and bustle of life and trying to get all the things that I saw what I had really needed all along.
Not things, trinkets or money…
No, the best things in life are the very things that money can’t buy.
Love. Peace. Happiness. Joy.
Love from all the special people in my life that are there for me, appreciate me and remind how blessed I am to have them in my life.
Peace from knowing I’m living a good life, helping others and putting good out into the world.
Happiness from doing the right things, being a good person and letting go of the heavy parts of life.
Joy from living in the moments, breathing in the beauty all around me and realizing that the little things are, in fact, the big things after all.
I can’t say I have it all figured out or that I know what tomorrow will bring, but I’ve realized that I don’t have to know all those things.
Sometimes, half the fun is the surprises that pop up in our lives.
Not letting disappointments ruin my day and being positive about the good stuff just helps it all go a little smoother.
They’ll say I’m naive, a dreamer and not realistic, but I’ll tell you that I’ve been down all the wrong roads and all the bad things have happened to me..
And I’m still here, standing and smiling.
Come what may, I know that I choose where my path leads and how I get there.
I decide if I’m going to dance in the rain or wallow in the storms.
I’m choosing to laugh more, love harder and live louder.
Maybe it won’t solve anything, but it surely makes my life brighter.
And after all, isn’t that what we all really want, anyways?
To be happy?
I choose happiness, each and every day, in all the ways that I can.
Maybe I can’t change the world with my smile, but it doesn’t mean I have to let the world change my smile.
I got this..and I always will.
