Life is too short to not be happy and create your life

Life is too short to not be happy and create your life. Life is too short not to love and allow the past to linger and live in misery.

The kind of life that has you waking up in a good mood and excited about what the day may bring.

The kind of life that has you look forward to your work, your family, and friends, and bringing creativity into your life – whatever that may mean to you.

Something I learned this past year, is to be open.
Open to possibilities and opportunities.
Open to love and vulnerability.
I have learned that people may not agree with me and that it is okay. As a matter of fact, it is more than okay.

Some people will

  • applaud you.
  • look at you like you are crazy.
  • stand on the sideline and wish they could do what you do, and we know that they could.
  • join you
  • be left behind

But the more you go after what feels good to you, the next adventure, the next project, and the next idea, the more you are starting to stand in your truth.

Happiness isn’t about pleasing other people. It isn’t about playing small or always following the rules. The more I stand in my truth, the more people are leaving and while I may have been sad about this in the past, I am not anymore.

Happiness is what brings you joy and excitement that makes you feel like you are alive.

If you feel like you are currently lacking happiness in one area or another, visualize what would make the difference.

What would be that thing that would change your frustration and then brainstorm the things you can do to make the difference.

Start doing them, don’t wait for a second longer because the longer you wait, the longer happiness will elude you.

  • Visualize
  • Plan
  • Decide
  • Act

And watch you be happier each day thereafter. And you can start with my free 5-day goal setting e-course to help you decide what you want to go after and create your actions to help you achieve them.
