I've wasted so much time holding together this stiff facade and have in turn compromised so much of my own happiness for the happiness of others. I've realized that we are all responsible for the happiness we take hold of in every season of life. Yes, it may or may not be stimulated by the actions of those around us but it is still our own personal decision to take what we're given and draw however much satisfaction we choose.
I can strive and strive and strive and still feel insufficient at bringing others happiness. But it really comes down to being okay with the fact that I am not in control. Realistically there is nothing I can I do to make everyone happy and I just need to know that and live within that revelation.
I already feel so much more alive and assertive and ready to take on my life and the things that have been holding me down. After all, this is MY journey...no one else has walked it before and no one will after me. I might as well go after it with everything in me!
The unfolding begins...
