Happiness is just a state of Mind 

Sitting here staring out into the vast blues of the sea and sky  contemplating …   Just a few moments ago , panic struck , I was a mess … Running around fixing this and that , furiously cleaning the wooden table tops … Banning the tissue boxes out of the mantle ..
Now in total calm , I realized that most of the stresses of the world is just what out minds make us think . Let me make myself a little more clear . I wouldn’t have been annoyed , anxious , mad … If I had just did the same things , but without all those extra emotions.  The mission on hand would have just ended on the same note .
Perhaps it’s the getting more mature, or more experience that makes me calmer, more calculated and much more toned down . Therefore I want to be able to hand down this small life experience to the younger and faster and furiouser ( I made up that word) … That maybe they can enjoy their young life more than I did mine .
Most of the times I was depressed or down were times I couldn’t achieve what my brains wanted me to do . Whether that was being the best restaurant in the city , being the best mom or just being the best in everything I did , it made such a huge impact on my wellbeing , having to live up to such high standards … Set by myself .

Now , I sit back and just relax , and damn … I don’t care what people say and what I achieve .. ( not much now since I sold most of my businesses) . It made me much happier and much more relaxed in my everyday life . Well to be honest it didn’t come immediately … Went thru bouts of depression , and serious lapse  of judgment … Before I got to me .. today .

Much happier much more content just because I don’t put pressure on myself .

everything is in our minds … Control our minds and we control our happiness . We are the ones in charge of ourselves .
