YOU GOTTA LOOK OUT FOR #1!!
Have you ever heard the saying “You gotta look out for #1“? 
This week the focus is on what are you doing to make you happy?
“Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy.” Ralph Marston
Last week I gave my thoughts on accepting your divorce and why it’s important. Please Stop Feeling Sorry For Yourself and Accept Your Divorce
If you haven’t read it, watched the video, or if you have a short memory like me…
Here’s a quick refresher.
Accepting your divorce is more about you doing what it takes so you can move on and focus on things to make “YOU” better.
GOTTA LOOK OUT FOR #1!
I had a friend when I first moved to AZ who use to always seriously but jokingly say “Gotta look out for #1!”
I use to think that was the funniest thing and what made it so funny was the fact that it’s true.
That saying is what comes to mind when I say that you have to focus on what makes you better.
Because that’s exactly what you have to do!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MAKE YOU HAPPY?
Did you know that no one can make you happy but you?
“How you choose to feel today should not be dependent on others.” Anthon St. Maarten
Along the process of accepting your divorce or once you have accepted your divorce how are you going to keep pushing forward?
What about when you have to be around your ex and it seems like he/she is reaping all the benefits all while you can’t seem to catch your footing just to stand up on your own two feet?
This part here is an aspect of why accepting the divorce is important!
Unfortunately, I’ve made the mistake of tying my happiness to others many times which sets me up for letdowns and disappointments.
For anyone that is here because of a cheating spouse, what is a common reason given for the cheating?
Happiness right?
Because they were unhappy with themselves and expected you to make them happy. But that isn’t your responsibility.
FINAL THOUGHTS
I can’t tell you what to do to make you happy because you are the only one that knows what to do.
But here are a few questions that you should ask yourself if you are having a hard time.
- What do you like to do in your spare time?
- If you could do anything in the world what would that be? Why?
- What makes you happy?
- What could you do every day that would never get old?
As always…
Be Great! Be You!
A.B.P. ALWAYS BE PROGRESSING!
