WQ #47 – Finding enduring happiness

Published by

on

I learned a long time ago that you need to make your own happiness. I firmly believe this to be true.

Nothing and nobody can make you happy, you have to do that for yourself.

The following quote that I am sharing, is one I love.

Some of you might not know this about me, but I collect quotes.

This is one of my all time favourites.

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain!”

Bob Ross

Have an awesome Wednesday!

❤

    Being happy is not a gift we have to wait for. It is a decision and a permission we give ourselves.

      Yes, I agree with you, and we should give ourselves permission more often to be happy 💐💐

        It needs to become an inner concept 💖

        Find your place of Zen, whatever that may be, but it should be your time.

        Anytime, mate, no matter how much chaos I face, I still find time for Zen.

        Whether that is reading, writing, , listening to music, which to me is like breathing, not a day goes by and I am not listening to something depending on my vibe from the moment I awake to when I crash. Lol

        Without Music the world would not be the same.

        Aye Music helps me at times when I am in the flow, lacing lyrics or finding music to correlate with my segments of madness creation.

        Leaving my audience wanting more and intensifying and twisting an assault on your cerebral cortex

        I have been told my writing is intoxicating and terrifying at the same time.

        “I have to say, the graphics and images on your blog totally rock!! And your writing has a strength and rawness that are both terrifying and intoxicating. “ W.M

        I love being unpredictable I thrive off it, like those fearing me knowing I am not one to fuck with!!!!

        I am the Crocodile at the water hole and will always hold others accountable. Wager against me is willing to die; there is no certainty when animal approaches the waterhole

        Sorry you had a bad day! I’m having a bad one too. Don’t know if you believe in astrology, but Mercury is in retrograde. That messes up communication.
