No matter who we are, what we do, there’s one thing that all of us want in life – and that’s to be happy! It sounds simple, but sometimes we get so bogged down by the nitty-gritties of living day to day that we forget what the end game is. So here’s promising myself that I won’t forget, that I will do what it takes to make me (and keep me) happy. Say aye, ladies!
1. I will do what I feel passionate about.
Even if that means sucking it up at a crappy job right now. I’m doing it today to build a solid foundation for what I really want to do in life.
2. I will stand by what I believe in.
Even if it means going against popular opinion and having to pick sides. But I will admit it when I’m wrong – how else will I learn from my mistakes and know how to avoid them again?
3. I will not accept mediocrity in my life.
Everyone deserves something outstanding. Including me. I won’t “settle” for something just because it’s the easier option.
4. I will get out of that relationship that brings me more unhappiness than joy.
A boyfriend who does not care about me as he should, a friend whose negativity is pulling me down – I’ll get the hell out of there and invest in other relationships, ones that bring sunshine into my life.
5. I will not say no to any opportunity unless it feels really wrong for me.
Because I never want to look back with regret and wonder “what if”.
6. I will explore the world around me.
I will travel, I will make more friends, I will take up fun classes, I will discover new places and people… The world is way too interesting to stay shut away from!
7. I will respect, adore and cherish the people I care about.
Because without them my life would not be as bright.
8. I will stay true to my values.
After all, it is what I hold true that makes me who I am. And I’m pretty awesome!
9. I will hold out for what is best for me.
Not what other people think is best for me. It is my life and happiness that I have to worry about, after all.
10. I will acknowledge every day the little things that make me smile.
Because being happy always means learning to be happy every single day! That’s the key. 🙂
