Happiness is letting go of what you think your life is supposed to look like and enjoying it for everything that it is. – Mandy Hale

I am all for setting goals, and trying to make your life the best that it can be. Sometimes though, we get so caught up in reaching for our goals that we forget to love the life we’re living right now.

I would never tell anyone to give up on your goals and dreams, and don’t give up trying to make your life better, as long is it’s your vision.  If you’re aiming for a target that somebody else has chosen for you, that’s a different story.  You’re never going to be happy if you are continually aiming for something that isn’t your dream or goal.  That means your not living your life and you won’t be able to love your life because it’s not a life of your own choosing.

True happiness will come when you let go of the vision of life somebody else has put in place for you.  Let it go and enjoy the life of your own choosing. Don’t just enjoy your life, love your life.  Love the life you choose with the goals you’re aiming for and then you’ll find true happiness.
