Starting on my challenge #2 of 3. Here is a link to my first one in case you missed it: Challenge #1 Angels
I would like to talk about Happiness. A subject I usually do not post about. I have a lot of pain, as we all do. But sometimes, as I am learning, you have to put your problems and pain on a shelf, and choose to be Happy! A lot easier said but I am a work in progress. I have so many favorite quotes, but I had to narrow them down to just three today. I will share more on the next challenge.

We are the only ones who can make ourselves happy. Nobody else can do it. It must come from within. Happiness is definitely an inside job. Some will rely on others for their happiness but in the end, it is up to you. I have and still am learning this one. Once you realize this, there it is. Happiness was there all along.

2. This one is so true. We have to always put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. If not, we miss what life has to offer which is usually right in front of us. I do it a lot without realizing. I have to try and not look back too often, after all I am not going that way! I try to move forward and grab as much happiness along the way as I can. Life is all about our attitude.

3. This quote always hits home. We all take things for granted, it’s just what we do. But we need to stop and realize who is in our lives and what we have that makes us happy. Life and happiness is not about things. It comes from within. Until we learn this, true happiness will not be found. Like I said, I am still a work in progress. Learning every day. I hope these quotes have inspired just one person out there somewhere.
