Something that I am learning is that it is super easy to complain about where you are in life and not to change anything. Einstein's definition of insanity is "...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Lately, I have found that this is exactly what I am doing. I wake up, dread going to work, go to work, have a bad day, and then come home and prepare to do it all over again. And then at night when I am once again dreading the next day, I wonder why I'm not as happy as I could be.
One of my friends said something very profound the other day: happiness comes from within yourself, not the things that you do. I happen to agree with her. If we don't find the positivity in ourselves first, it doesn't matter if we are millionaires living on a private island with all the pina coladas in the world--we won't be happy. However, if we can spark that light in our souls and continue to fan it, no matter what we do in life, joy will follow us.
I love this. I can be the most negative person sometimes. Instead of trying to fix something, I just want to complain. This hit me on the head with a brick when I read it.
Don't stay stuck somewhere and leave it up to the universe to choose your fate. Choose to live your life the way you want to live it.
My last point in this very scattered blog post is to take chances. Nothing great was ever accomplished by playing it safe. JFK once said, "Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly."
Myself and many of my friends are making awesome life changing decisions right now and I am feeling truly inspired. I am blessed to know these people and honored to share in their lives. I am hopeful that I will meet many more people along my journey and be inspired by them as well.
Sometimes big changes can be terrifying, but if you know in your heart it's what you want, then take a leap of faith and be happy.
