It is my daily choice to make about how I feel and react, in the past two weeks or so, I've chosen to feel happy. I know that sometimes events happen that can bring me to my knees but I want to remain hopeful that the darkness won't last forever.
I can see and feel the light, I'm out of the darkness. I love how contented and happy I am, I also like that I'm planning things for my future. I smile so much more, which gives off a whole different vibe; which than in turn attracts more happiness.
I've always dreamt too small for myself; I am done with that. I want to do things I have never done. I want to go zip lining next summer, there's a place in the valley in Nova Scotia that some people from work went to last summer. I also want to go to a concert, I've never attended one, I'd like to this by next summer. Also I want to travel to Europe, I know this one may take me a little longer... but it is definitely on my list of places to go in the future.
Every dream is possible, I just have to believe there is a way to make them happen. I am choosing to believe in myself and my dreams.
"Unless someone can look into the core of your heart, and see the degree of your passion, or look into the depths of your soul and see the extent of your will, then they have no business telling you what you can or cannot achieve. Because while they may know the odds, they do not know you. Nor do they know the power of your angel." ~ Sandra Kring
"Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way." ~ Eileen Caddy

Love your goals Launna. The Zip wire you will love it, I have done it with a bunch of young people and I unashamedly screamed and laughed all the way down-such fun. Seeing the light in the darkness is so important, thank you for mentioning that.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh Petronela, you just made all my water works come out with that song. That song is beautiful, it reminds me so much of me and my David... thank you for telling me about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Behind the Smile, I totally agree, I can't wait to scream with joy and laugh hysterically down the zip wire.

ReplyDeleteThank you Just Be Real, I appreciate your comment:)
ReplyDeleteI love all the quotes in this post, Launna. I think it really is true that we have a choice about our happiness. We can choose to be happy or choose to be unhappy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Daisy, it's really our choice, sometimes it's harder than others but always attainable.
ReplyDeleteHi Launna. Glad to see you are happy and are planning for the future.
