Why the eff am I Happy!?

I'm over 30yrs old, not married, no children, haven't had a raise in 4yrs and recently moved back home with the parents ...how could I possibly be happy? 

Truth is, happiness is a choice. A choice I make every single day. Just like picking out my outfit.

It's taken some time, but I've finally embraced where I am in life, and that I'm on my own path.

Marriage, family, work goals and pursuing my dreams are all still in the cards for me. Just because society has pointed out that I'm a little behind the curve, doesn't mean sh*t lol 

My life isn't anywhere near perfect. And it's an honest effort for me to focus on being positive; like when you're not sure you're gonna make it through a tough workout or when you're burnt out at work and have a deadline creeping up or when you put yourself out there to date a guy who you're just "ehhh" about and he stops talking to you out of nowhere (where are the gentlemen?!).

It's a choice to be happy & positive. And once you're there, it's easier to hold your smile and brush things off! You don't need that negative in your life anyway - byyye! 

In Shawn Achor's book, The Happiness Advantage, he talks about happiness coming before success and how that actually attracts more positive and successes in your life! 

So be happy now and attract more and more happiness/success that you're looking for!
