How Do You Let Go?

I want to touch on happiness of course, but I want you to take a different approach. I don’t want you to figure out how anymore. I want you to focus on today. I want you to stop dwelling on the past by accepting what it was, your lesson in disguise. I want you to stop trying to figure out how the next five years of your life will be. I want you to stay in between yesterday and tomorrow, which is in the now!

After moving to a new state three years ago, I finally found a permanent job, yes three years later. So imagine the stress and worry that I was feeling. Did I make the right decision moving? What if I never find permanent work? What if I can’t pay my bills? I’m telling you, those what ifs will psych you out. Then I started doubting myself, why am I not getting interviews, my resume must suck, why didn’t I get the job after the interview, did I say the wrong thing, do I need to go back to school? I also started comparing everyone’s new job accomplishments only to later realize that what is for me will be mine.

I became a licensed real estate agent in 2017. I haven’t made one deal, but I worked my ass off to get my license, so I will forever stay licensed and it will be something that I will fall into when the time is right for ME. I worked two jobs in 2018 (three if you count Passport 2 Happy), one part-time and the other a temporary full-time position. During this time, I wasn’t happy with how my career was going and dwelled A LOT on what I should have done differently and how I led myself there. I really had to let that sh*t go. It was eating me up, but the only way to get happy then was to focus on the NOW. I was working, I was able to pay my bills, two companies hired me at the same time and I was great at both jobs! All the while, I was still applying to have one great opportunity, so that I could drop the two, and it happened.

I am resilient!

What we don’t always realize is that everything that we’ve gone through has prepared us to help ourselves and others in the present. How we choose to accept it or react to it will create our mood for happiness. You get to choose who you want to be.
