We all have potential unfortunately we don’t all allow our potential to shine.  Sometimes life gets in the way and that happens to all of us, but it doesn’t mean you have to give up on your dreams.  Some of us get caught up in wanting to be something that we just aren’t, that’s coming to the realisation that you’re not following a dream but living a fantasy, there is a difference.

It’s about finding what you enjoy doing and then doing it, it’s not about fame and fortune, the thing you enjoy doesn’t even have to earn you money, but the fact that you enjoy doing it, is the key to happiness.

You need to focus on the happy things and not the bad – it’s so much easier to remember the bad or the unfortunate.  When we wallow on the bad things that have happened we stop moving forward in our journeys, we stagnate, we get down, and we let things overwhelm us.

It’s time to stop doing that!  Focus on where you want to be and what you want to achieve and then start moving toward it.  Don’t give up at the first sign of a challenge whether it is a physical challenge or a verbal one.  You know what you want to do so just go and start doing it!  You need to be happy – but just remember that is not at the expense of others happiness.

The main thing to remember that happiness is state of mind, it’s the journey NOT the destination.  You have to enjoy the here and now, make the best of what you have, enjoy your life to the best of your ability, THAT is happiness.  When we’re happy, we are more inclined to take the leap and just see how much potential we have.

Enjoy the journey.
