You cannot be at peace and in a state of anger or fear simultaneously. You must CHOOSE! Let this be your reminder that you have the Power to be Happy at any given time! We all do. We can choose to be bitter or choose to be better. Whether we are strengthened by life’s challenges or broken by them is entirely determined by how we respond to them. It is all about our mindset, especially when things don’t go the way we envisioned them to go.

So, when things seem bleak or too dark, look inward, YOU may be the light, that makes a difference. We can’t all change the world, but we can each do something to make a difference, and we can start by choosing to be better, instead of bitter.

The time is now to shine our light brighter than ever, to share the good and happy stories, to be kind, to promote peace and love, to celebrate the small moments and wins and to be delusional enough to believe that Love Always Wins in the end, even if the process is slow!

Here is a reminder with 5 Steps:

1. Validate your own experiences
2. Ask yourself what’s next
3. Take action (inaction never creates change)
4. Control what you can and let the other sh*t go
5. Don’t let outside forces be stronger than you.

I encourage you to focus on the good whenever possible and to remember how our minds work: what we focus on expands! And, if you decide to post something fun and/or positive online, use the hashtag #thepowertobehappychallenge because we have to share the good, the positive and challenge ourselves to learn to live happy, healthy lives, despite what the outside world tells us.

No one is coming to save us, WE have to be the change and do things differently to get different results, so do not give up your power! If you need a little help, check out “the formula for life.”

IMPORTANT: Do what brings you the most joy! It is important to stay in the vibration that you want to resonate with. It is easy to get sucked into the negativity that surrounds us, if that is what we constantly focus on. We must learn to live life with balance – all extremes are bad in anything (life, religion, relationships, politics and so on.)

Let love and light outweigh any and all darkness out there, now and in the future, even if it seems silly. It’s only crazy, until it isn’t…LR

Let the power of love outweigh any hate you may encounter.

LOVE is the real power.
