I give myself permission to be happy
I let myself be happy by allowing myself to be me. I am free from the internal pressure to be like someone else. My joy depends solely on what is in my heart.
I reflect daily to find my inner fire and pursue it. My life is fulfilling because I follow my own passions and dreams.
My face always wears a smile. My smile is my most beautiful accessory. Even when I don’t feel happy, I smile. I know that if I lead with my actions, my heart will follow.
I am happy because I have a thankful heart. My Creator has given me everything I need to be content.
My happiness comes from relationships and experiences, not from material possessions. I do not measure my success with material possessions; nor will I become a slave to the unending cycle of buying “stuff” in an attempt to quench an insatiable thirst.
I know happiness cannot be bought. Happiness is free. It is available to me, and I choose to seize it.
I allow myself to see the good in every situation. I focus on positive things. Happiness is having the right perspective. Like a camera lens, I choose to zoom in on the good. When goodness is magnified, I experience happiness.
I give myself permission to be happy right now. Instead of searching for a place of happiness, I find that happiness is a state of being.
Self-Reflection Questions:
- Do I allow insignificant things to get in the way of my true happiness?
- How can I avoid being critical of myself?
- What is one thing I can do today that will bring me joy?
