What Really Makes Us Happy?

My niece, Marissa

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.  The way it actually works is the reverse.  You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want.  ~ Margaret Young

What really makes us happy?  Personally…I define success by happiness.  It doesn’t matter what your house looks like, how much money is in your bank account, or what your “job title” says.  To me, if a person is happy then, YES…they are also successful!

So stop waiting to have kids, or to get married, or to finish school, or to retire.  Whatever you’re waiting for – until you think you’ll finally be happy -  don’t wait for it any longer.  Decide that YOU are happy, and I bet before you know it, you WILL be!

Have an AWESOME day!
