Pursuit of Happiness
Share
I'm setting forth on my pursuit of happiness in 2025. We'll call it My Happiness Project, as I was inspired to do this after my life spiraled out of control, and I ended up at Barnes and Noble looking for something to take my mind off of my mess of a life.
As I was reading, I discovered that, unlike most people, I know exactly what makes me happy. Freedom makes me happy. Not conforming to societal norms makes me happy. Shopping makes me happy. Having a happy, clean home makes me happy. Cooking and eating wholesome meals makes me happy. Being a mom and the woman I know that I'm capable of being would make me happy. Finding my tribe and having a solid support system would make me happy.
Most people want to be happy, but aren't and don't know where to start to make themselves TRULY happy because they don't know they even want out life. But here's the thing: LIFE CAN'T GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU WANT.
Ya hearddddd.
I've had this same vision for so long that I no longer doubt my potential or what my future holds. I learned what makes my soul roar like a lion, and I'm confident that my purpose is BIGGER. I also know that we, as humans, are magical beings, and connected to a higher energy. The universe responds to us. What we dream, we shall receive, as long as we actively seek it.
I know this because it 2020, I spoke the life I wanted into existence, until I found myself greatly overwhelmed and stressed by life, and then I stopped feeling that energy inside of me. When I stopped feeling that energy radiating through me, life took me by the reigns. I started thinking negative thoughts and negative things is what I began to attract.
My life became one slap in the face after another. Then, one day, I decided to take life back by the reigns and listen to the voice in my head. I've always had this sense of security and "deeper knowing" that I'm going to live a large, abundant life. I decided to starve my distractions, feed my focus, and really go all in on this life I crave and know I'm capable of creating, but have allowed myself to stand in the way of out of fear. However, I'VE ALREADY LOST EVERYTHING I WORKED HARD FOR AND GOT IT BACK ONCE BEFORE, THEN LOST EVERYTHING AGAIN, SO WHY NOT GET IT BACK AGAIN, EXCEPT THIS TIME, TENFOLD?
There is, quite literally, no better time than now to start.
And I manifested this. I WANTED to lose everything and start from ground zero because everyone always has an excuse for "why it wont won't work for them" or "why they can't".
I wanted to be the next Eric Thomas. Homeless to playing professional football and being an inspiration to millions of people because he came from nothing and became something anyway. Our stories aren't the same tho. I didn't come from nothing. I was never homeless. I had a home, car, a phone, a laptop. Everything I needed to succeed. However, I also had bills I couldn't afford and no time to balance running a business between paying bills and being a single parent.
Except that's an excuse. It was easier said than done, but I definitely could have managed. I was just unmotivated to balance it because I was already overextending myself and I was exhausted by life. At my breaking point. But it turns out, I wasn't even close to my breaking point. And losing everything I had worked so hard for only showed me how little materialistic objects mean to me. Losing everything was the most freeing experience of my life. I let go of everything weighing me down and started living my best, most aligned life, on accident.
If you had asked me where I was headed four months ago, I wouldn't have thought it was here. I've taken great strides in the last three months and altered my reality in the most incredible ways.
Taking a breather to reset was the best thing I could have ever done for myself because like COVID, it gave me time that I didn't normally have to perfect my vision. Now the vision is in focus and I'm going to bring it into reality.
That entails mornings that start early, with morning affirmations, meditation, high frequency music, yoga, and a light healthy breakfast. Mid-mornings consist of work - homeschooling and marketing. Afternoons are for creating, whatever our hearts desire. Evenings are for relaxing and enjoying - warm, wholesome meals, our favorite tv shows, each other's company, a long bath, a good book, and wrapping up each and every night with visualization and nightly affirmations, followed by a restful sleep in my happy, healthy, organized home.
I'm PRACTICING this life in 2025 and becoming the woman and mother that I'm capable of being. After wasting several valuable years of my life dreaming without action, I'm going to take action and manifest everything I deserve and more in the next 338 days.
You can follow my journey on social media, or you can join my journey and manifest your best life in 2025 too.
