Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Despite what is happening in your life and around the world, you are destined to embrace happiness within. Let’s depart from this place for a moment and begin to visualize our journey to happiness. When it seems like you will not make it, take some time to reflect on positive thoughts and some of your personal accomplishments. Always remembering that storms may come and go, but what matters most is that you make it through the storm without wavering your faith. We have to start shifting our thought patterns in a positive direction so we can regain control of our inner being. After all, our inner being defines who we really are as a person.

I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness. – Unknown Author

To begin with, it’s important to note that we must realize and accept the fact that happiness is a choice that we must make every day. Now, let’s focus on these concepts that will help us embrace happiness within:

Have a positive outlook on life. It’s quite simple. What we think about most, we become. This will take a lot of effort on your part, but once you conquer it, you will be much happier.
Believe in yourself. Get to know yourself and always stay true to yourself. If you don’t believe in you, then no one else will. Do not be an approval seeker.
Set and pursue personal goals. Identify what you are looking for in life. Then, set some realistic goals and pursue them. This process will increase one’s self-worth.
Practice gratitude daily. Be grateful and appreciate the simplest things in life. Make time to reflect every day and count your blessings.
Live in the present. Realize you have control over the here and now. Happiness does not exist in the past or future. Happiness exists in the now.

Living in the present moment is the only way to true happiness. Once you make the choice to embrace happiness within, you will need to work very hard to reach your full potential. Just like any change one tries to make in life, it’s going to take a commitment and discipline to overcome obstacles throughout the process.

WAYS TO EMBRACE HAPPINESS WITHIN

Make happiness a priority and be gentle with yourself in the process. – Bronnie Ware

Embracing happiness within is a life time journey, not a destination. Happiness is determined by our attitude toward life. Believe it or not, with the right attitude, you can change a negative thought for a positive one, gain clarity in any situation, and work toward achieving your goals.

Create a work-life balance to overcome burnout.
Build meaningful connections and don’t be afraid to network.
Fuel your progress by learning how to feel better about yourself.
Explore what happiness means to you right now in this very moment.
Use your imagination to create the life you dream about and seek.

As you can see, it’s important to be honest and to focus on what matters most to you in your life right now. Keeping in mind that the enemy always fight the hardest when he knows God has something great in store for you. Before you know it, you will begin to take charge of your life again and know in your heart that I AM DESTINED TO EMBRACE HAPPINESS WITHIN!

JOURNAL PROMPTS

Whatever makes your soul happy, do that. – Unknown Author

I love journaling because it is a safe place for me to put my feelings and emotions into words, then put my words into action. Remember, journaling is your very own personal journey throughout life, your ups and downs, your successes and failures. In addition, journaling is a powerful way to process events in your life, build self-awareness, get more clarity, and keep yourself on track. Journaling also allows for past reflection, future insight, and present surrender. Keep in mind that this is a journey. Everyone takes their own path. Ready, set, write!
