Well, give me all you got,
and don’t hold back, yeah,
Well, I should probably warn
you I’ll be just fine, yeah,
No offense to you, don’t waste your
time
Here’s why...
I want to be happy 100% of the time. Therefore, I've challenged myself not to set myself up for sadness, anger, or disappointment. Through the challenge, there are three things that I've learned are my keys to happiness. Here's what I do to make sure I'm always happy:
By simply doing my own thing, I've found that things don't bother me as much. I can't count on anyone but myself. I am the person who has always been there for myself and will always be there for me no matter the scenario. No one knows me better than myself.
Don't Expect Anything
I always had expectations for people and found that most of the time they were not met. When the expectations weren't met, I became annoyed. By eliminating expectations, I have replaced them with standards. I have standards for certain people based on my relationship with them. They better live up to them!
No Need To Worry
I am the type of person who always wants to be in control of my body and surroundings. I'm such a perfectionist that it's almost sickening. I get stressed easily and I've finally found to just breathe and let go. By not worrying, I've been ten times happier. I've learned that I can't worry about the things that are out of my control because there's absolutely nothing that I can do about it. Instead, I try my best and if that's not good enough, so be it.
Of course some things irritate me, but I've found that life has been happier and easier for me in the past month or so. Life shouldn't be taken for granted because you've only got one shot at this. Why spend your life any other way than happy?
