Living a Happy Life.....

When you hear someone say they are happy with their lives, what perception do you get from that? Do you instantly think they have a loving spouse or significant other? Maybe they are well off and never have to worry about money? Does it make you think that maybe they never have mood swings or that they don't suffer from anxiety or depression? Maybe their happiness means they have a couple of kids, a cute dog, nice big house, pool, walk in closets full of clothes, fancy cars, trailers, or enough money to vacation whenever and wherever they wish?

I think for most of us, that's what we think of when we see and hear others say they are happy in this life.  Does that mean it has to be what your happy life looks like? If your happy means living in the woods in an old cabin while fishing everyday and being out in the wilderness alone, then go get your happiness.  If your happiness means shopping everyday because you love it and have the money to do it then by golly go shop till you drop. Do whatever makes you happy not what makes others happy.

Girls, I know one thing that always makes us happy is looking good with or with out clothes on. If you need a little toning or you need to drop some weight then get out there and do it. If you want it, go get it. On a side note, make sure you are working out to look like a better you not like another woman. It's impossible to look exactly like someone else and in all honesty why would you want to? This world would be a boring place if we all looked the same.  Embrace your beauty and be the best you that you can be.

This next part is for all of  you who are married or in a serious relationship with someone special. It doesn't matter what type of relationship it is either, rather it's Ashley & Sandy or Bill & Ted or Liz & Zach it's all the same and needs to be treated the same. So for all of you, you know how the honeymoon stage knocks both of your socks off and then slowly that starts to fade away? Once it starts to fade away you tend to start thinking about yourself more and not so much of your significant other and their feelings or what they want. What we all need to remember is, even though we have decided to share the rest of our lives with another person doesn't mean we need to give up the things we love or enjoy doing. Make sure you let each other have and do the things in their life that will keep them happy. If your husband or wife wants to paint a wall in the house purple, green or black and it's something they really want to do, then let them do it. It won't kill you or change your life drastically but it will make them happy. If your hubby likes to go hunting then let them do it. If your wife wants to get a doggy door to make life a little easier, then let her. Learn how to give and take a little. Giving in sometimes doesn't make you weak, it makes your lives together a little happier.

So now, what does a happy life look like when you stop and think about it?

From experiences in my life with the friends and family that surround me, I have seen a lot and know that it doesn't matter where you're at in life or how much money you have or if you are single or married with a family. You can still be unhappy in either situation.

One thing I have learned throughout the years is you get what you work for and ask for. If you want to be happy then go make yourself happy. We all know the things that inspire us, the things that make us glow and the things that make us smile from ear to ear. It is your job to go find it, you are the only one who can make yourself truly happy.

I think a lot of times we rely on others to make us happy, that is the worst mistake you could ever make. What happens when that happiness that was brought to you gets taken away? What would you do? How would you pick yourself up and keep moving if you can't make yourself happy?

If there are things in your life that you can't avoid that bring you down such as, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or any other factor that is getting in the way, you need to learn how to control it and most importantly you need to learn how to understand it so you can understand yourself.


This life that we are living only comes around once, we only get one shot at enjoying it and making the most of what we have so don't waste it.

What to do when you hit a block in the Road?

You are cruising down your beautiful life road. The sun is shining, birds are singing, and you're jamming to your favorite tune. All of a sudden the sun is gone, birds flew away and your music shuts off. You look up and stop suddenly. All you can see is your beautiful road has been blocked off.

What do you do, where do you even start, & what road should you decide to take if you can't stay? All of these thoughts instantly start swirling through your mind when you are blindsided by a block in your road.

Do you give up and go home? Should you find a new route to take? Do you stay and work on removing that block in the road so you can proceed forward on your beautiful life road?

Have you ever felt invincible with the road you are on? Have you ever felt like there is no other road you would rather be on? Have you been on the same road for what seems like eternity and never had the slightest thought about it closing down? I'm sure we all have....

In this beautiful life we live, there are a lot of roads we can choose from. How do you truly know you are taking the right one. Can you be sure that it will never close down or be blocked?

I'm not sure sure any of us know the answer to this. Would it be nice to know, would you want to know where your road led too .....?

I would have to say no, I wouldn't want to know. I think sometimes we can choose the wrong road and end up somewhere we never could have imagined. Would that be a bad thing? Would it end up being a blessing in disguise?

All I know is I don't ever want to know what the future holds or where my road is taking me. Knowing the future would ruin future roads that could be taken by ourselves or others. Knowing the future would make us weak as a society. Knowing the future would make us scared to live, love, and grow.

Have you ever hit a block in your beautiful life road that terrified you so much it made you stop in your tracks and then left you with blank thoughts? I'm sure we all have been there. Keep choosing new roads to travel or unblock the one you are on. That's all we can do......
