Decisions and Values

We are only TRULY happy when the decisions and actions we take are in alignment with our VALUES. And happiness is NOT found in the "right now"...but in the "RIGHT."

I had to really dig deep on those statements above bc I find myself often thinking and getting excited about the "right now" goals....& I start to focus less on the "RIGHT" things.

If you are like me then sometimes we struggle with this because our joy can be about the IDEA of something, executing it, and when the expectations don't meet the idea in our head I find myself asking...

So were my expecting too high? Did I not work hard enough? What did I do WRONG?

ALL ARE THE WRONG QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF.

Instead ask....

What are the VALUES behind your actions? And were your actions in alignment with them? Were you being authentic to YOU? Did you still learn something of value from this?

THOSE ARE THE RIGHT QUESTIONS.

Sometimes outcomes don't fit, but when you look DEEPER you find you are living RIGHT and that has deeper fulfillment than you ever thought possible.

So ask yourself. What are YOUR values. Most likely they are the same as most.

YOU VALUE FAMILY & CLOSE FRIENDS.
YOU VALUE LOVE.
YOU VALUE HAPPINESS.

Live a life that stays true to those values and you are on the RIGHT path.

Value family by loving them unconditionally. Don't just say it, SHOW IT. Without expectations either. And if you find yourself needing help...Ask for help!!!! Stop making assumptions. Living in your value means not assuming people can read your your mind.

Value LOVE by accepting love and giving it. This means taking time for YOU too

Value happiness by living in gratitude and finding the beauty in life. Struggle seeing that positive? Then you MUST start saying NO to things or people that don't serve you. That way you can YES to those that do.

Just some thoughts & my takeaways I wanted to share today from Sundays book club. Hope this inspires you in some way today. Love ya friend
