It went a little like, it was him, his habits, the way he talked and those annoying habits. Of course I couldn’t be happy while he was being so god dam annoying. We were at the beginning of our relationship and I didn’t know it then but we were in trouble. And one day someone was talking and I was listening and they said;
Wherever you go, there you are.
I have since heard it applied to a number of things. But on this day, I heard, if I was unhappy with him, I would be unhappy with the next guy and the next guy and the next. That I was the problem. Or the source. That it was up to me to be happy. He couldn’t do it if he tried. And by gosh, he was trying. I had to be my own happy.
And all of a sudden, he wasn’t so annoying anymore. Ha! Double bonus. So tell me. Where in your life could you do with being your own happy?!
Hi! I’m Suger; Chief Blogger at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; love a casual ootd, taking photos + writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet; photos, create content, write copy and devise social media plans for personal brands, small businesses and bloggers. You know, living the sweet life.
I can so relate to this post. I think every element in my life could do with a dose of my own kind of happy at the moment!
So true, I have said similar things on many occasions. Just I hope I live that way. I think I do.
Great post. So true.Thanks for Rewinding at the Fibro.
This comes as a timely reminder for me. Today was a hard day. I'm going to take this with me into tomorrow.
So true. I just watched The Secret this past weekend because I needed a reminder of exactly what you're talking about. 🙂
Lovely post.I've been bringing my happy back this year. It's about rediscovering who I am and what I like and what I don't. And acknowledging that there are a lot of peoples and things that make me happy – like my kids,animals, health, and having enough money for us to live comfortably. (I'm working on the latter!) But ultimately I'm responsibly for my own happiness. Me. No one else. I've found it so empowering, and even if my world is falling down around me, I can still find aspects of my life that makes me happy. I'm glad you've found your happy too!
