Above All, You Deserve To Be Happy!

By: LJ Ober

If you came to the end of your life, would you be able to say that you lived your life for you . . . yourself and for what was most important to you? Because “Above all YOU deserve to be happy!” Right?

Some people go through a good bit of their lives living it for everyone else but them selves. And that is o.k . . . to a certain degree, but what about you? What are your needs, dreams and aspirations? What did you come here in this life to accomplish? Are you muddling through the motions while putting your desires on the back burner until the potential... "SOMEDAY" arrives?

IT IS AFTER ALL YOUR HUMAN RIGHT TO BE HAPPY!

Granted you will never be in a constant state of bliss, because as life has it, we need to learn from our setbacks and mistakes. You do deserve happiness and are quite capable of getting it, but you also have to be willing to do the hard work that it takes you to get there.

We lose our sense of happiness when we lose track of who we are and of what we want. We get stuck in a rut as we let life become pretty much mundane. We procrastinate, become lazy, snooze through life, put our dreams aside all while letting others take us for granted. But you have to remember that, this is your life, with your possible course of actions and your desires do matter. However; you have to stand up and speak up for what you want!
​
​HERE ARE 10 WAYS TO STAND UP FOR YOUR LIFE KNOWING THAT YOU DESERVE TO BE HAPPY...

1. Make an effort to stay conscious, alert and in the now moment. Breath deeply and take in the beauty of life. Look for simple ways to add excitement daily. Do you love what you are doing in life, or who you are spending your quality time with? Make the necessary changes if needed.
2. Count your blessings and don’t take your life for granted. Give it your full attention without wishing it away. Enjoy the “now” enjoy “today” without thinking too much in to the future.
3. Have something to look forward to by rewarding yourself for your accomplishments.
4. Figure out what it is that you truly want in life, and learn how to get it even if it means that you have to ask for it. Have the courage to follow your heart.
5. Set out to discover your authentic self and stay aware of who you TRULY are, not what others want you to be.
6. Don't get caught up on what your 'life purpose' is, or trying to uncover 'the true meaning of life'. By tuning too deeply into the need to know all of that will only cloud your excitement for life on a daily basis.
7. Stay open to new opportunities. Look for them. Meet new people, and make conversations and connections. Don't feel that you have to wait for someone else to strike up a conversation.
8. Re-evaluate your time and precious use of energy. Change up your daily routine to give yourself a fresher outlook on your day or to get yourself out of a rut.
9. Remind yourself often that you deserve to be happy- It is your GOD given right to be happy!
10. Link your positive thinking with follow through and action, without letting someone else bring you down. ​

Above all, God knows that you deserve to be happy, plus you also have the blessing of FREE WILL infused with the choice to change your mind...

• ​Whenever YOU want
• As often as YOU want
• And for whatever reason YOU want
