YOUR HAPPINESS SHOULD NEVER BE NEGOTIABLE

How many times do our friends and family asked us, “Are you happy?” How many times do we ask ourselves, “Am I happy?

The next question I want you to ask yourself, “How many times do we give an honest answer?” Before you answer please get out a pen and pad and write down your answer. Why you may ask – because with human nature we most likely want to grab onto the words that articulate what sounds good or politically correct as they say – but not necessarily what’s the truth.

The reason behind this behavior is we are trained at home and in society that if you express your true emotions or you show some discomfort in life you are considered weak, a complainer, or just not a strong individual. I am here to tell this is far from the truth. The truth is, when someone asked us this question we should never be afraid to be honest and candid about our true feelings – it’s a time to be vulnerable, free, and honest without the worry of judgement. Honestly, most likely the person you are speaking with have experienced this same emotion at some point in their lives.

In order for any individual to be truly happy we must love the reflection we see in the mirror – with our flaws included. In order to receive unconditional love, we have to have that experience with ourselves first and foremost. Once we do that we share with everyone that comes into our space what we will allow and what won’t be tolerated.

See, our energy is the most powerful thing we possess and we must be aware of what we are giving out as well what we are receiving into our space.

Happiness will always end and begin with you. You are and will always be the one to protect and preserve your energy & your happiness.

Continue to stand strong,
