Happiness isn't something you'll get when you finally reach a place

This is just a little reminder that you're going to have bad days and tough moments, but those won't last forever. And sometimes you're going to get down, but you have to remember the power that's within you to both seek, and embody happiness.

Change the way you look at joy - if you see it as a place to one day reach, or a thing you'll physically achieve at a certain point - you're wrong.

Happiness isn't something you'll get when you finally reach a place. It's something that's possible right here, right now. It's something you can choose by focusing on what you HAVE or love, rather than what's missing. It's a conscious decision to cultivate good thoughts and surrounding yourself with empowering energy. It's believing in better day, even when you're drowning.

So maybe right now you're overwhelmed or in pain - don't let this temporary state of being become the lens in which you look at the world.
