Happiness often comes with a frown and sometimes with a huge smile. There are so many roads to take in life, some good, short, long, and some well let's just leave that alone! Then there is the road called happy.......
For years I didn't realize that I could be happy without any strings attached. Embedded in my mind was that I wasn't good enough unless I did things to make others around me, happy, if someone commented on my hair that it was too short, maybe I would let it grow longer, or maybe I needed to lose weight instead of gaining weight. There was always something on my road to happy........
Unfortunately in life we all work to meet others approval...similar to that of the President, we have approval ratings. However, God has created us all unique and to be truly happy, one must first like what they see in the mirror. Deep down in that reflection is a human being that was fearfully and wonderfully made, a person that despite not having a fresh hair cut, make up on or the contacts in....when God looks at you, he smiles and says that's my child. It is when we look in the mirror although we see the flaws, we also see hope.....see you really are not what you use to be, in fact you are better. You may have gotten hurt on the road of life but you are healed. True happiness is not found in a car, job, people but WITHIN YOU!
CHAMPIONS, evaluate where you are and ask yourself this question, am I truly happy or am I just going with the flow? If you are going with the flow, make a check list and mark off the things that are negatively impacting your life and highlight those things that are making a positive mark on your life. Work to bring out the things that are positive marks on your life. Know your self worth, stick to your core values and beliefs and turn the happy meter up on your life....CHAMPIONS you control your happiness not someone else.
It took me a while to find happy, but once I found it I was determined not to let it go for anyone or anything! Today,BE YOU and BE HAPPY!
