"If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” -Albert Einstein
Have you ever noticed there are moments when you are so happy all you can do is smile? I sure hope so. Do you remember what you were doing? Was it shopping? Was it spending time with your family? Was it snuggled up with your significant other?
Its no secret that we have a tendency to tie our happiness to people and things, but today I challenge you to break those ties. While I am not recommending that we rid ourselves of the things that make us happy, I am challenging you to transfer your happy energy from people and things to goals and accomplishments.
Is your happiness tied to the weather? Are you as happy in the rain as you are when the sun is shining?
Is your happiness tied to material things? Are you as happy when you're at home watching television as you are when you're out shopping?
Is your happiness tied to a person? Are you as happy doing things alone as you are when you are with your S/O?
Is your happiness tied to food? Are you as happy when you're eating (even though you're not hungry) as you are when you decide you're satisfied with the food you've already eaten?
YOU are the one who must decide to tie your happiness to your goals & accomplishments. Focus on yourself and what makes YOU who you are. Things perish and people let you down. Master the ability to deal with your own problems and discover what life is like when you have decided you want to be happy!!
Remember you have to believe in yourself before you expect others to do the same!
