One of my biggest struggles in life has always been finding the importance of making myself happy. I am the type of person who will do anything and everything for anyone. I hate seeing people sad, and I always strive to put a smile on everyone's face. This is a blessing, but also a curse considering sometimes, I just can't take my own advice and find my own happiness.
When life is taking a stroll through difficult situations, you must first realize why you are truly blessed for everything in your life, no matter what you are blessed for. If someone is telling you something that is truly hurting you, you need to brush it off, and never think twice about it. There are always going to be struggles in life, if you never learn how to deal with those struggles, you will never be fully and truly happy.
Sometimes, the most important tactic to happiness is simply being a little bit selfish, and do whatever it is that makes YOU happy. It is important to be selfless and make sure everyone around you is happy, but you need to make sure you are counting yourself in that scenario as well. There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy, and it all starts with how badly you want to obtain happiness.
