Sometimes happiness doesn’t need to be achieved—we just have to make room for it. Our minds can be full of anxiety, regret, resentment, and worry, leaving no room for the smiles.
Some people believe that what’s happening to them determines their happiness. But the reality is, how they deal with those things determines how they feel.
Miserable thoughts may also be familiar, and familiarity can be the reason we hold on to things much longer than their expiry date.
Let your yesterdays go. There will be a point where some of that pain will make sense, and some of it never will. We have this need to make sense of things, but it’s at the expense of our ability to enjoy our NOW moments.
Leave the past where it belongs; the lessons will find you. Focus on improving the way you feel now—it’s all you have.
