Whatever happened...

The past couple of weeks I have really been thinking about that little phrase and how many people actually say that and the situations they are in. Here is where my thinking lead me...

Whatever happened to people following their heart? When you follow your heart on things it may not always be easy but at least when you lay your head down at night you know you are happy with the decision you made. People want the easy way out these days. They want things to just fall into their lap. That is not even real life! Real life is making real decisions and being happy with what you decide. Some people are so afraid to follow their heart because of what society may say about them. Who cares what they say as long as you are happy. Now certainly don't take what I am saying out of context and do something stupid and irrational. Use your brain!!! I think most people don't and won't follow their heart because they fear being hurt. I use to be the same way. But you don't know how to grow and become stronger if you don't go through some difficulties. You learn and move on.

Whatever happened to following your dreams? When you follow your dreams, you succeed in life. You accomplish what you have set out to do. You turn your dreams into reality. Some people say dreaming is for the birds well is catching yourself wondering and wanting to do something for the birds? Nope its the same thing as dreaming. Set your goals as a dream, work hard to achieve them and you will succeed. Oh no did I say work? Why yes I did. You have to work to accomplish goals. Goals do not achieve themselves.

Whatever happened to doing what you think is right and just being happy? This reflects back to following your heart and following your dreams.  But when you get in situation were the decision seems hard and the world bares down on you to make a certain decision you still have to do what you think is right and the best decision for you. Note: By making yourself happy you will more than likely upset someone else. It's ok, if they really care they will respect your decision no matter what the outcome is. I am definitely happy when I feel that I made the right decision for me or for me and my child. I have learned that not everyone will be happy by my decisions but we must be able to look at ourselves in the mirror everyday. I know I can and say Yes I am satisfied with my life, I am happy with my life and the decisions that got me here.

We all go through things that make us stronger. Somethings are completely out of our control but when that happens you make the best of it. I guarantee that if you look into the negative you can find something to be positive. You always have a reason to smile. Just have to look sometimes for the reason.

Gotta be happy with yourself! Can't make someone else happy if your not happy!
