C'mon Get Happy!
We often find ourselves stressed out over all the things we don't have, haven't done, or aren't being. No matter what they may be, there is no hiding from the anxiety caused by the unknown. If you don't make enough money, have not gone back to school, are not fulfilling your life long dream of being an actress, or maybe you planned to be married or be a mother by now, but you haven't met 'the one' yet- are you panicking yet? Before you burst into tears, know this, none of those things are based on time. Thankfully, most things we want to do, be, or have are not time-sensitive. The sooner we recognize that, the better ready and focused we can be on fulfilling our every desire.
Make a conscious effort to focus less on your what you have not achieved or how long it may take, or will take to satisfy your desire. We have to learn to stop feeding our anxieties and disappointments. It takes up too much energy, more energy than it takes to plan the course of action needed to get what we want. The time you spend feeding your losses and disappointments could be better used investing in doing the things necessary to get where, what, or who you want or want to be. Focus on prioritizing your day around your goal. Actively invest your time and energy into it every day verses concentrating on the difficulties and obstacles you are or will face to achieve it. You get out what you put in so if you're busy putting in doubt, fear, or any kind of negative energy you will get just that, doubtful, fearful, and negative.
Set a goal, make a plan, and put the plan into action, but most importantly, take the time to appreciate what you do have right now. Focus less on how far you have to go, and more on how far you have come. Start every day with a smile on your face and gratitude in your heart. Acknowledge that life is perfectly imperfect and even so, you are blessed and grateful. You may not have your dream job yet, but you're working. You may not have the man of your dreams, but know he's out there and being alone is better than being in an unhealthy relationship with the wrong one. You may not have a platform like Oprah, sing like Mariah, or a shape like Halle, but by-golly you know what you have are blessings, big and small, and you will consciously and actively show your appreciation for those things and will not take them for granted. Be appreciative and happy with the many ways your life has been blessed in addition to seeking more, and continue to make strides towards accomplishing your goals.
