happy Sunday my lovely lil angels from God.
I love you all. if no one has told you today that they love you, I'm telling you right now, I LOVE YOU. I love you because you made it to this earth by the grace of God, you are still on this earth and you are going to do amazing things in God's own image and make Him proud. I'm proud of you for making it this far in your life and by simply being in this world, YOU are making it a better place...
now let's talk happiness
today I had an epiphany. I'm happy
well actually I had this epiphany about a week ago when I was in the hospital
I was in the hospital getting all sorts of tests done and no one really telling me what was happening. when you're laying in the hospital, hooked up to an IV, heart rate monitors, and you're freezing, your mind starts to wander.
the first thought was, PLEASE let this nothing be serious. I do NOT want to die. and why don't I want to die? because I am so happy in this life
my life is so far from perfect. anyone who has followed this blog, my youtube channel, my journey, knows I'm in a constant battle with myself
I battle my weight
I battle in my relationships
I battle with mental struggles
I battle with career choices
I battle with life decisions in general
but none of that is a factor on my own happiness. and it's not on you. we all have struggles, struggles do not define you or your well being...how you handle struggles do.
you can get up every morning and allow your struggles to hold you down and keep you in bed or you can choose to be happy and overcome all these obstacles
some battles you'll be fighting the rest of your life but if you are truly happy and CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY, those battles will merely be a speed bump in this journey of life
I'm happy because I'm healthy
I'm happy because my family is always there for me and makes time for me
I'm happy because I have a job that doesn't feel like work at all
I'm happy because I have an amazing amount of support from people I've never met
I'm happy because I make a difference in people's lives by being myself
I'm happy because I have a roof over my head
I'm happy because I have legs that work to be able to walk
I'm happy because my faith in God strengthens everyday
I'm happy because I have friends who truly love me for me
I'm happy because my family is all still on this earth with me
I'm happy to be able to reach so many people
I'm happy because I get to entertain
I could go on and on and on of why I'm happy!!!!!!!!!! but I think you can see my point. there are 50000000 things to be happy about for every 1 struggle you face. focus on the happy and not the sad.
the happy is a choice that YOU CAN CONTROL
you may not be able to control life's struggles but you can control your happiness
choose to be happy today
choose to be happy every morning you wake up
and spread that happy :)))
I LOVE YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW!!!! and other people out there in this world love you too or are waiting to love you
don't give up! keep going. and "be the change you want to see in the world" ;)
peace and love my lil angels
