"I am an individual with the right to a good life. I must not look to anyone else to make a good life for me; this I must do for myself."
-One Day At a Time (Alanon book), Jan. 16 Devotion
How many times do we look to others for happiness? How many time do our lives look dim when someone seemingly ruins it?
The truth is that our happiness lies within ourselves, not others. This is something I am learning as I move forward. It is my decision to let go and let God. It is my decision not to let the difficult things in life rule or ruin my life. It is up to me to be happy, healthy and whole.
A good life may be a difficult one, but it depends on how the person looks at their life. My life has been full of difficulties, ever since I was a little child, but I think I do lead an amazing, good life. I have friends and family who care about me. I have a great church. I have just enough money to make it through.
Life does not have to be picture perfect in order to be happy. It's up to you to be happy no matter what life throws at you. Live one day at a time and let go and let God. Don't let the negatives rule your life. Look at the positive and be grateful for every precious moment this life affords you.
