Daily Inspiration for June 1, 2010
Katie Jay, MSW
Happiness is not perfection.
Do you think that for you to be happy, everything in your life has to be just so? Happiness is a strange thing. It's not synonymous with perfection. In fact, some of the happiest people alive are neither wealthy, nor thin.
Happiness involves overlooking imperfections, laughing at mistakes, and making a lot of lemonade from lemons. It is the attitude you adopt even in the face of problems.
Action for the day: Today, respond to your life with happiness. Wear your rose-colored glasses all day.

Isn't that the truth! My goal for this week was to be kinder to myself . . . to NOT be so rigid and hard on every little thing. Im human after all and not perfect so why should I expect my weight loss journey to be perfect. Relax a bit and just be a bit kinder to myself!0
