We always have choices, and it is a fine line between allowing and acknowledging difficult emotions (then letting go) and wallowing in self-pity.

I believe that is probably the most important route to true happiness. Thanks for sharing Sara.

You describe and define feelings and actions that we can actually take, and do, that can help result in our overall happiness. Awesome! #MLSTL

I agree–happiness is usually the byproduct of other endeavors. Thanks for stopping by!

I think happiness is a choice and I think it’s also a response to being resilient and proactive – and making decisions that put you into a good place. Too many people stay stuck and lose their abilty to see the good in life (and there’s a LOT of good when you look for it).
Since amazing myself by finally quitting my horrible job, I’ve rediscovered joy and I think joy eclipses happiness because it just radiates from within – it’s such a great feeling!
Thanks for linking up with us at MLSTL and I’ve shared on my SM 🙂

It’s not so much about being ecstatically joyful all the time, but rather having those moments of simple joy – often in the middle of an otherwise busy time. Do I strive to be happy? To be honest, I don’t think so – I’m absolutely not one of those “if only I had x I’d be happy.” I do, however, feel committed, connected, as though I have a purpose, am more often than not authentic, follow my curiosity, live a creative life, am good at my job. While balance and I aren’t great mates, we’re definitely friendlier than we used to be. So yeah, I think I’m happy – and grateful to be so. Visiting from #MLSTL

This post is so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. The fight for happiness can cause so much unhappiness. You post is so accurate. Learning to be present, and following your contentment and creativity as amazing advice.
