To be truly happy in life, you have to first accept your flaws and embrace them. Once you know and understand your flaws, you can work on turning those flaws into traits. Turn them into something positive, something that you can control.
Learn to love yourself…learn to trust yourself and date YOU. Go on dates solo. Go watch a movie and go out to a nice restaurant and spend some quality YOU time with just YOU. You will truly find out more about yourself on your likes and dislikes and you will see how much you have grown and how much your mind had expanded. You have to look out for yourself first and once you have accepted yourself whole-heartily, everything else around you will fall into place. Learn to know, feel and realize that it is perfectly fine to be alone…this way once you are alone, you will be okay.
Realize that the “Negatives” in the world is nothing more but a blessing in disguise and you are not allowed to see the gift just yet. Take the bad experiences in life as a lesson and learn from it. Learn from those around you also. Don’t take the bad and turn into a victim stating things such as the world is out to get me. See the beauty in the bad and realize the gift that it shall bring.
Ask – Believe – Receive
Manifest your positive energy to the world and be thankful for all that you have received and shall receive. Believe in your heart and your thoughts. The more positive you put into the world, the more positive energy the world will return to you. Don’t ever say “CAN’T”…everything is possible…you just have to ask for it, believe in it and then you shall receive it. Be thankful for all that you have because even though the life you are living now doesn’t seem “good enough for you”, it is perfect to another.
I watch a video clip on one of my social media sites and I was completely blown away by it (I wish I had access to the video again):
“People are like leaves. Some, depending on the wind that blows will fly away or start moving to the left or the right. Don’t be mad at them when they fly away. That’s what they are here for. They were put here to teach you a lesson…to be in your life for a season and then move on. There are people who are like branches. Don’t get fooled by them because some of them can be strong. Keep in mind that branches can also break off. If they are strong enough, they will hold on and continue to grow and bring some new leaves into your life. If they break off, that’s okay. Just another lesson learn. Now, if you have roots…three to four roots, those…hold on to those. Without them you can sway. The roots in your life, they don’t need the lime light. They don’t need to be shown to the world that they are who keeps you grounded. Remember to pay attention to them…water them and grow with them.”
I hold all of this so true. People will come and go out of your life and remember that is okay. Everyone is a lesson to be learned. Learn from them and then carry on. Take away the good and let go of the bad. They were removed from your life for a reason because where you are going, they can’t go. Don’t go crying over something that wasn’t meant to be. Don’t cry that it is over, smile because it happened.
Once you learn that you are the key to your own happiness, you will realize your self-worth and you will start doing things for you. Do what happens you happy. Life is about living, not about regretting. There is nothing wrong with making you happy because in all honesty, at the end of the day, it is you who has to live with your feelings and your thoughts. Don’t let others negative vibes ruin yours. Just like don’t let those who were talked out of their dreams try and talk you out of yours.
So for this New Year, I ask for you to find yourself and find your happiness. Focus on you and make all of those dreams come true regardless if they are big or small. Once you start making things happen, everything else will fall into place. Manifest it to the universe and the universe shall grant you your wishes. Be thankful of everything that you have been given. Be grateful for all the people in your life. Be blessed that you have woken up again today. Love and be loved. Smile and spread kindness.
