Happiness -POTD-

Don't give up when the mist makes your eyes blind. Don't give up when your lover says good bye to you. Don't give up when you did something bad and you regret. Don't give up when you are torn up and you can't find your pieces. Never give up in spite of been nobody in life. Be, and only be for yourself, then after yourself you will find the others to be with. Remember that happiness doesn't live next to you, but inside of you.

What a powerful, motivational message here. Particular love the closing line: “…happiness doesn’t live next to you, but in you.” So often we forget that we are responsible for our emotions and lives. Happiness is a choice, not something that happens to you. Congratulations on your well deserved POTD, well deserved. May you always choose happiness every morning.

When it is all said and done, yes, happiness must be found inside. There is a grieving period, but don’t stay there. Congrats on POTD!
