Key to happiness

Shannon Soltys 1971 (Grand rapids Michigan)



Sitting in the here and now, dreaming about the yet to come, trying to draw and learn from the already done. Deciding to not accept less than you deserve from people. Knowing your worth and demanding it from them. Seeing happiness as a freedom of burdon to have to prove your worth to the world. Their approval isn't needed, only your own. People's understanding would be nice but not necessary to your happiness or your actions. Follow your heart to your dreams. Know the only guaranteed failure is fear of trying. So follow your heart, fear nothing but fear itself. Find your happiness and don't stop until you do!! Don't settle, take what you want and drag it into existence, refuse to give up. That's the key to happiness for me, what is it for you?
