YOU ARE EXACTLY WHERE YOU NEED TO BE!

Someone out there just read this and thought hmm, Girl Bye! There is absolutely no way that I’m supposed to still be working this job, or struggling financially, or dealing with the loss of a loved one, or dealing with this sickness. Or maybe you’ve been trying to figure out exactly what the heck it is that you’re supposed to be doing with your life! Or you’re wondering where is my man, my husband, my boo thang, and crickets. On the flip side, maybe you are living your BEST LIFE! Breakthrough after breakthrough! I mean THIS is the LIFE YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!! ALL YOUR LIFE!

But no matter which side of the coin you find yourself on today, embrace it. The sooner we learn to embrace whatever phase we’re at in life, the sooner we’re able to grasp the lesson(s) that are intended specifically for us to learn. When I’ve been in some of my darkest moments in life, I’ve realized that those moments were needed, and they weren’t necessarily preparing me for any major come up either. They were simply teaching me how to survive no matter what was happening to me or around me. Those moments were teaching me that I am responsible for my own happiness and that my happiness shouldn’t be based on the things  I have or the things that I don’t have. There are people in this world who have it all but still aren’t happy, and then there are the people who we look at that are in situations that we’d never want to find ourselves in, yet they are experiencing what it means to live their own version of happy.

So hear me out when I say that you are where you are meant to be, because where you are meant to be isn’t a place, or a thing, that’s defined by materialistic things. It’s defined by the happiness that you and only you have the ability to create wherever you are. So stop putting your happiness in future places and people that may or may not ever exist, and be happy right now, right this moment, in the one place that you know you were meant to be, because you woke up there.

Whatever happy means to you, or looks like to you, embrace that. Stop embracing someone else’s standards of happiness, and create your own standard. Ask yourself right now, what can I do today to live happily?

As always… Protect Your Pretty Girl!

XOXO,

Gigi
