Get your Happiness on!

For your information, I haz my Huzband back (and yes I spelled that stupid-like on purpose) And for the sake of my blog being about sex, love, lust and what have you, I am getting laid again, So yes, I am happier. Thank you for your concern. Now onto More Pressing issues.

Last week on Facebook I was bored and my friend had a status that said, "Like for the truth" So naturally I liked it and she posted on my wall the truth about me. I thought this was a brilliant opportunity to tell the people I don't like off and confess to the people I do like Just why I am so generally hypnotized by there being... That's what I thought. Turns out, I am WAAAY to nice to tell anyone off, or tell them what I really think about them, well because, I don't have anything bad to say about anyone... (I'm such a Pussy...uh...Mom.. If your reading this... ignore that.) Then I got to thinking.. If I had to tell the truth about myself what would I say? As My hamster wheel started turning in my head I then realized that despite being positive to everyone else I am the only negative thing standing in the way of myself. 
With that being said, I think that most people can agree with me that the person that holds you back the most is yourself. So STOP. STOP telling yourself your ugly without makeup on. STOP telling yourself that your fat. STOP telling yourself you cant achieve your goals because you aren't good enough. STOP second guessing every decision you make! STOP Trying to be someone you are not.  You are a person... Just like the other 6 billion people in this world. You are different. No one is you. So stop trying to be them. And stop trying to fit into this mold of who the world says you should be.  

The truth is..
'We convince ourselves that life will be better after we find a boyfriend or girlfriend, get married, have a baby and then another. Then we're frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We'll certainly be happy when they're out of that stage.

We tell ourselves that our lives will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.The truth is there's no better time to be happy then right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D. Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always come obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served or a debt to be paid. Then my life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness.


Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with....and remember that time waits for no one.

So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you loose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until your car or home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you're off welfare, until the first or the fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you die, until you're born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

Happiness is the journey, not a destination.'
