Your Future

Just because the past didn't turn out like you had hoped, doesn't mean your future can't be better than you had envisioned.

Happiness is…

Happiness is when you feel good about yourself without the need for anyone else’s approval.

Everything that it is…

Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is. ~Mandy Hale

Laugh Your Way Through

The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache. ~Marjorie Pay Hinckley

On The Right Track

You know you’re on the right track in life when you become uninterested in looking back, and eager to take the next step.

Approval

You do not need anyone's constant approval. The need for approval is like an addiction. If you base all your actions on the approval of others, ultimately you find yourself running in place, sacrificing your own happiness. Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket. Learn how to say “no” to people and obligations that do not add value to your life. Your time on this planet is precious. As the saying goes, “What you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.” Don’t wait around for someone else to give you permission to live.

Create It

The most reliable way to predict the future is to create it. Participate in life instead of just watching it pass you by.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY  Variously known as the Fourth of July and Independence Day, July 4th has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution (1775-83). In June 1776, representatives of the 13 colonies then fighting in the revolutionary struggle weighed a resolution that would declare their independence from Great Britain. On July 2nd, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later its delegates adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson.   From 1776 until the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with typical festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.
