What Do You Choose?

Happiness is optional. It is an act you choose to feel, follow, and pass on to others, however, you have to want it to have it. 

Being happy is easier than you think and while most people might consider happiness found in big situations, it is often found in the smallest things in life. All you have to do sometimes, is look around! Cherish every second, every moment, and every memory. 

There will be times in life when we might feel unhappy and it is then when we must take a moment to pick ourselves up. Nobody else will do it, nobody else will know how you feel inside... it is up to you to want to be happy! Just remember, once you find yourself in a happy place, share it with someone else!

Imperfection.

Is truly what makes you beautiful. Nobody is perfect, we all have scars. Some of these bring up happy memories and others do not. 

Instead of dwelling in the past, focus on where you are now. How have those scars made you a better and stronger person?

Take a second to realize where all of those little imperfections have led you to.

Be positive and know that tomorrow morning you will have a brand new day. A new beginning to start all over again!

Gentle Persistence.

Are you dealing with someone who just won't open up to you? Are you tired of wondering what he/she is thinking? Sometimes we have to be the ones to open up the conversation and invite people in. No matter how mad it makes us and no matter how many times we have tried. The key to getting people interested in you is by becoming interested in them. Take some time to focus on what he/she is doing. Ask about them and learn about them.. this will help make people feel interesting to you and will start to open up more and more.

Practice silence and you will see how much that person has to say.

Different Paths.

Only you know your plans. Only you know where you are headed. Do not let anyone or anything change your path. There will be people in your life who might want to bring you down, but you have to remember that just because they once fell and never got up, it does not mean you have to let them drag you down with them. 

Be strong and smart to realize that you are your own person, therefore, you are in charge of steering the wheel.

Most importantly... be confident in the path that you have chosen!
