What does happiness look like to you? Is it a great career, amazing house or maybe a family. Having kids is great to start someone else’s life that you can watch grow but when they move on and away, what is there to bring you joy? I think that the idea of finding and sharing your life with people is a great measure of how happy you are. Looking at the people in my life who have spent year after year with each other, gives me hope. It’s inspiring to see people go through the thick of it, face the world together, and come out stronger than they were before. Knowing that no matter what, despite all odds and obstacles, there is someone ready to face it with you, gives you a strength you didn’t know was there. It’s amazing how believing with all your heart that you will never face anything alone gives you so much peace. Have you found the people in your life that you will be together forever with? How did you know it was forever? What part of your success do you contribute to the strength they gave you? I think that when you look back and really weigh it out, you’d be surprised how much impact someone has had in your life. Think about that the next time someone in your life is reaching out and looks to you for strength.
