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!
