Happiness lies within you.

You have to admit, to a certain extent, you have spent too much of your life trying to belittle yourself, Trying to become smaller, Quieter, Less sensitive, Less opinionated, Less needy, Less you... Because you didn’t want to be too much or push people away. You wanted to fit in. You wanted people to like you. You wanted to make a good impression. You wanted to be wanted.

So for years, you sacrificed yourself for the sake of making others happy. And for years, you suffered.

It’s not your job to change who you are in order to become someone else’s idea of a worthwhile human being. You are worthwhile. Not because other people think you are, but because you are breathing your own air, and therefore you matter. Your thoughts matter. Your feelings matter. Your voice matters. And with or without anyone’s approval or permission, you must be who you are & live your truth. Even if it makes people turn their heads. Even if it makes them uncomfortable. Even if they choose to leave.

I can tell you from my own life experience that life is a wild ride. I’ve found happiness, lost it, found it, lost it & then I found it once again.
But each time what I found was more incredible than the last.
So remember that everyone suffers in life at some point. Everyone feels lost sometimes. The key is using your experiences to grow, inch by inch. When you apply what you’re learning to your future choices and actions, you move forward not backward.happiness lies within you...create it,feel it....make the most out of life.
