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.
