Finding Happiness 😊💃


I have been thinking about happiness lately. Eleanor Roosevelt once stated happiness is not a goal. It is a by - product.

At some point in my life I wondered if I would ever find happiness. I wondered how I would feel to be truly happy. I envisioned it as reaching a milestone and finally stepping into the realm of happiness.

However, why was I not happy then?  I have always been a girl very" focused", principled and "serious" about life. I always wanted things to be done a certain way, and life to go a certain way. 

Yet, I have come to realize life isn't a linear path . Relinquishing control and letting things flow is a very important aspect to happiness. When you relinquish control, you become more adaptable to change and better able to handle unexpected situations. Allowing things to flow naturally stimulates creativity and opens up new possibilities that you might not have considered otherwise. When you release the need to control every outcome, you experience a greater sense of freedom, contentment and Joy in life.

I remember having this conversation about control with a friend sometimes back, and I remember feeling it was somehow irresponsible to let go of it. I still remember how much I argued and judged her . 

However as I have grown older, I have come to understand her perspective.  Life isn't about being uptight and  rigid trying to control everything including yourself. It's about seazing the moment, relishing in the freedom and embracing gradual personal growth . It's about fully experiencing each moment  because as they say, the universe is brimming with magical opportunities, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

Spreading feel good vibes  and lots of joy. ☺️💞

A friend introduced me to the concept of celebrating small wins alone, which I've grown to love. The truth is, if you don't learn to be your own cheerleader, you'll never fully experience the joy of success. Celebrating yourself is crucial for maintaining a positive mindset and staying motivated. Here are some effective ways to celebrate your achievements: 1. Engage in a self-care routine: Choose activities that nurture your mind, body, and soul. This could be anything from nature walks to spa visits—whatever makes you feel good, prioritize it. 2. Take time to meditate: Reflect on the rewards of your self-improvement efforts, practice gratitude, and simply take a moment to appreciate your progress. 3. Cook and enjoy your favorite meal: Indulge yourself by preparing and savoring a dish you love. Eliminate distractions and fully immerse yourself in the moment. 4. Share your successes: Confide in a trusted friend who genuinely celebrates your accomplishments. Sharing your joy ...

Embracing Beauty😍

  ❤ " The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams" goes the adage.  In youth, aspirations paint a vivid picture of an idyllic life, a reward for unwavering commitment and diligence.  The belief, whether deemed naive or innocent, is that adhering to societal norms, exhibiting obedience, discipline, and focus would automatically grant access to a well-deserved future. Life, however, is an unyielding sculptor, shaping individuals through a myriad of experiences, some challenging, unexpected, or even frustrating, thus chiseling away the youthful naivety.  As I strolled beneath the golden strokes of the Sunday morning sun, waves of nostalgia washed over me, prompting reflection on the innocence of past dreams in contrast to the dynamic reality that unfolded. In this moment, two words echo in my thoughts: 'Beauty' and 'Dreams.' Through my personal journey and acquired wisdom, one undeniable truth surfaces – beauty exists in every experience...
