I was doing my groceries and struck up a chat at the counter, and this person related their vision for when they’re retired:

They’ll there’ll be quiet and harmony then…

And you’ve heard this before, it is waiting for a time when things sort themselves out, maybe then I can be happy…

It is hard to rely on a future we cannot predict, but still – even if it were true though, what about right now, in this moment, today?

I believe that the happiness m calls on us, even most in the harshest conditions we live in – it’s reason enough.

I have struggled a lot in my twenties:

My then partner has left for somebody else, and the wrongness has thrown me completely.

I was drinking each day. I was shut off, upset. My anxiety spiraled. And one night, I was behind the wheel, and felt anger that’s surging right through me:

This is never going to happen, to me, again. I deserve to be happy. I deserve to be loved, and be giving love back, in return.

You see, nothing has changed! And my life was no different, but the one thing I found was resolve.

My resolve to be happy.

This is what you deserve, and be feeling, today!

Find your internal reason that speaks to you now, that the suffering brought, and the life that you’re wanting!

Because I wanted love, I had no clue on how I could get there…

How could I be worthy of great love – when I just got gotten unceremoniously dumped by the wayside?

When I could not have sex, and lay frozen, with nothing to feel?

There are moments you don’t have an answer, but you find your resolve.

This resolve – to be happy – is there in your stars, only you must decide that you claim it, and keep start moving towards it!

And the answers will come.

You’ll grow into it. You will figure it out. Bit by bit.

You might stumble, but you’ll pick yourself up, and you’re going to keep going!

Because you’re on the path, and right now is time that you start feeling happy TODAY.

My path took many twists and turns, but those years I spent on making sense of the world and on healing helped me find my true love!!

And I am feeling grateful each day – grateful for making the resolve for the life that I want.

What’s the one thing that you crave in this moment?

What would make your life brighter, more joyous, more calm?

It is worth the commitment, to bring it to life – even if you do not have answers…

Because answers you’ll find – you have done so before, and you’ll do it again.

My friend, know that you truly deserve to be happy today – with resolve that you’re moving towards it!

You are here, you’re striving, and you never give up.

I believe in you! You can do this.

We’re striving for future, today!
