The Pursuit Of Happiness

just because you are confused does not mean you are stupid just because you are lonely it does not mean you are alone and just because you breathe it does not mean you live. life is about the whirlwind of events the sprinkle of rain on the windshield the warmth of holding the person you love its that moment when you feel your heart grow a size or two :) its cuddling up in warm blankets and watching your favorite movie its giggling to yourself because your mind, face and heart are all smiling its pushing through the pain and misunderstandings and standing tall its taking a deep breathe knowing that everything WILL be ok. life is a beautiful disaster, and a complicated masterpiece.

all it takes is a moment of realization, a moment of sheer revalation, and just a touch of love to make you realize that life is good, and happiness is yours :) so i thought tonight i would explain my favorite and oh so beautiful quote that i live each day by. this is honestly the quote that explains my persepctive on my whole life. :) "it doesnt pay to get discouraged." aint that the truth this first line has honestly been a good kick in the butt and smack in the face multiple times...its so true. what does getting discouraged and frumpy and onry do for ya? nothing. diddly squat. it ruins your day, ruins others day, and makes you want to crawl in a hole. fun?? no i didnt think so either. getting discouraged is pathetic. honestily. im not trying to be rude or anything but in my experience, getting discouraged is for show, wheither its for you, a friend or the world, its a show. and im sorry but like my grandma says, "if you cry, you cry alone. but when you laugh then everyone laughs with you" you want to be loved? then be happy. happy people are the most beautiful people, happy people are the most loved people. and guess what else happy people, are happy :) "keeping busy and making positivity a way of life..." this is the challenge. sure sounds easy enough make some cookies, get some cleaning done and smile, that works right? yes those are fantastic things :) but. ive learned that there is more to it than that. when we are living lives without daily fulfillment, it causes discouragment, it causes confidence in your life, desicions, relationships and yourself to deplete. its inevitable. as human beings we must have that sense of accomplishment, it soooo important to stay active in the things you love, and doing the things you need to get done. now the positivity. its hard. let me tell you. hah ive found in many circumstances that smiling is sometimes the LAST STINKIN thing you want to do. its hard. but smile. smile even when it hurts. breathe. see the good in the world and realize that everything will be a little better in the morning, that the sun is shining, that there is people who still love silly old you. just smile, its the first step :) "...is the greatest way to restore faith in yourself." have faith in who you are. have confidence in what you love. go for the gold. its your life, make the mark on the world that you want to make. dont give up ever. dont give in to the mocking and discouragment that the world gives out for free. its a scam. happiness is only found within yourself, and with the lord. the greatness in you is more than you could even imagine. its as great and maybe even greater than albert einstein, walt disney, joseph smith, mother teresa, martin luther king, batman, the lorax and even johnny depp. ;) your greatness depends on who you are, who you let yourself be, and how you shape your life. shape it, or it will shape you. with much love, and a silly grin on my face heres jenni saying goodnight. heres for the hope of tomorrow, the brightness of my future, the courage of tonight, and the love of forever <3
