Level-headedness and the power to remain calm in all situations.

Romantic love, although glorious and special, isn’t the only thing worth living for.

A lot of people don’t realize all the good things they achieve on a regular basis.

Forgiving takes a while and so does healing.

They don’t fake it.

In the illustrated book, Brave Girls Club: Choose Happy, Melody Ross describes happiness as, quite simply, “a choice that we make every minute of every day”.

I decided that I wasn’t going to wait for happiness. Happiness was not circumstantial. Happiness was whatever I decided it was.

Timing is everything.

If I’m always near the bottom, then I can’t fall too far. It may sound pathetic, but it’s oddly comforting.

If we learn to shift our filter, to see how much progress we have already made, and to see the whole path forward, instead of only focusing on whether we’ve hit a big end goal, we can create our own happiness.
