Choosing to be HAPPY!

 Last night I got a FULL nights sleep and I woke up (without an alarm) not feeling anxious or groggy! 

Instead I woke up refreshed and ready to start my day! 

What happened yesterday isn’t bothering me and what could happen tomorrow isn’t worrying me. 

Why?

 Because I know that everything that’s for me won’t miss me and what lies ahead can only work in my favor. 

I have that much faith in myself and in my future!

“He didn’t bring me this far to leave me!”

I couldn’t have said that and MEANT it 5 years ago!

 It’s amazes me how LITTLE you allow OUTSIDE things to affect you the MORE that you learn to love yourself! 

Loving others is easy, genuinely loving yourself requires work.

 It’s requires facing hard truths and unearthing skeletons that you’ve packed away deep inside your closet. 

It’s difficult but it’s beautiful watching yourself GROW! 

I’m not exactly where I want to be in life. 

However, I’m overjoyed with the amount of  progress that I’ve made thus far.  

My mindset is my masterpiece! ☺️

The moment that I learned to control my emotions, is the day that I started healing! People will continuously upset you when know that they can! 

So I no longer give people the satisfaction. I refuse to let the world steal my joy! 

I started telling myself that I can.

 Because as my mama says,”CAN’T never could do shit!” 

“I reclaimed my time,” some time ago and I’ve been living every since!

I’ve been THRIVING & not surviving and that feels AMAZING!

Im not happy because life is perfect. I’m happy because I  know that I hold the power to MAKE or BREAK me!

No one else holds that power but God!

No friend, no family member, no man or woman could ever steal my joy because they didn’t give it to me; God did!

I’m happy because I have so many reasons to be!

I’m happy because, like Maya Angelou, “I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD SINGS!” 🦅
