The Best Advice

It's Friend Makin' Monday again over at All That is Good and we are sharing some 'friendly advice' today. (If you wanna join in the fun click on over and link up!) My advice comes from a great book called, "Toss the Guilt and Catch the Joy" by Merrillee Boyack (if you're a woman--and chances are if you're reading this you are-- you so need to buy the book.) When I'm feeling overwhelmed, guilt-ridden, worried about what other people might be saying about me, or just plain down in the dumps I like to refer to this passage to help me get back on track.

"Happiness is:

Courageously doing what you want to do, even if you are scared.
Experiencing your life as an exciting journey.
Stimulating your mind and caring for your body.
Realizing that you already have everything you need to make yourself
happy.
Knowing that you are the only one who can decide what is right or wrong for
you.
Accepting that you are okay even when you blunder and learn from your mistakes.
Knowing that what people say or do is a reflection of them
not you.
Listening to your inner wisdom.
Giving and receiving love unconditionally.

So tell me...what is happiness for you?
