Meaning in your life isn’t the same thing as being happy in your life. Happiness comes and goes, and won’t make you get out of bed in the morning. Meaning will, even when life feels like it kicked you in the teeth.
Go find your meaning.

Emotional dependence IS more dangerous when we fail to recognize it in time to prevent its nefarious chronic trends in thinking. Depending on others for our happiness is to build a castle on shifting sands. You’re setting yourself up for failure and you’re setting yourself up for trouble. Rely on you!

Never measure your success in comparison to others. Find your own fulfillment and your own happiness and applaud others on their search for theirs.

Single father of 2 boys. Divorced, good job, happy life. No matter how down life can be or seem, always know life is harder for someone else. Try and stay positive. Be happy with who you are and know you are enough. Life is what you make it. So make it yours. Make it fun because you will spread that to those around you. Stay RAD!!

Try not to let your eyes be the strongest organ when forming an opinion. There is always gray area – And that’s where the best lessons and stories lie.
Make being happy a habit. Put a reminder in your calendar a couple times a day that says “I AM HAPPY”. After a while, you’ll start thinking “I AM HAPPY” every time your alarm goes off. And then you’ll start believing it – or at least become more aware of your happiness level and take steps to get there. It truly is the most important thing.
