It might just be one of those weeks....

Not to be morbid today or anything, but I feel that in everyone's lives there is a point in time where you realize what the most important things to you are. And, like I've often read and heard, the grass isn't always greener. What you feel is your own personal perfection may truly be misery and hell for another. So rather than look at what others have and what you want you life to be, take a breath and realize all the good things you have in your own life. Okay, I understand that most of your financial situations are not ideal, but neither is mine, but you have to embrace what you have and keep living for today, because sometimes, tomorrow never comes.

From today forward, promise yourself one thing. No more regrets. No more of the would've, could've, should've. Do it now. Embrace the light, the night. Do what makes you happy, what makes you shine inside. Be creative and make something, or help someone, or even sit down and turn your brain off. Be passionate. Pour your heart and soul into something. Strive to be the you that you want to be. Something just for yourself. Because of all the people in the world, you should be the most important one for yourself. You can't make anyone else happy until you are happy with yourself.

If you've already achieved this, then congratulations. You have reached what most people want to reach. Pure happiness. It comes from within. Sure possessions make you happy, a new purse, a new electronic, but pure happiness, pure bliss, comes from something inside. It is obvious to the people who know you best when you are at that point in your life. Your face changes, your appearance changes, your life changes. Change is not a bad thing. Well, not always. And if it's a bad thing, try to make it into a positive thing.

Let go of the little stuff too. The things that bother you and that you can let youself get into little arguments about, let it go. Is it worth it to argue over laundry and dishes and dirty socks? Probably not. Take a deep breath and ask yourself if it really is a big deal. If it is, then pursue it, because it might eat you alive, but if it's not a big deal, let it go.

One more point I really need to stress: if you need help, ask for it. You may think that you can do everything on your own, but you wouldn't be who you are without the guidance and help of your family and friends who have always been your support system. It doesn't even matter what the help is about, whether it be needing help moving, just ask. Or if it is something more serious, like you're just not feeling like yourself and you need to talk. Call someone, write, e-mail, text. With all of the technology available, someone will always be on the other end, willing and able to help. If it's emotional/personal/mental anguish that is bothering you, ask for help. There is someone out there. Comment, email, I'll get back to you. Always.

I don't mean to preach, but this is something that I just feel like I need to say. I want everyone to reach their own personal happiness and to know that someone out there appreciates you, even when it feels like the world is against you.

Thanks for listening.
