Life Will Always Be As Good As You Want It To Be

Happiness isn't somewhere in life, or something you can hold, it's a mindset.

If you think about it, everything in life is a concept of our mind. What we think and act upon is what our reality becomes. It’s weird because with this in mind you would think we would make sure our actions produced us the most amount of happiness. But this isn’t the case.

Why do we knowingly act out on things that we know will not lead us to our happiest state? Maybe we like to test ourselves, and the people around us. Maybe we like the feeling of trial and error, falling down and getting back up. Or maybe it’s just in our human nature to go against what we know is the best option for us. Regardless, we are in full control of our minds and our actions, making us the controllers of our level of satisfaction with life.

But, life will only be as good as we want it to be. It starts with mindset. When you tell yourself this concept, it becomes so much easier to put your best foot forward. Getting your mind on track is the easiest step. What’s hard is putting these thoughts into action. It seems simple. We think positive, so we produce positive actions. It could be as simple as that. We want to be the happiest we can be, therefore we should practice what we think. When we discover how much control we have things become a whole lot smootherLife will always be as good as you want it to be. Happiness isn't somewhere in life, or something you can hold, it's a mindset. It’s how you see the world in your day to day life. It’s how you open your mind to opposing ideas and statements. It’s also how your react to these oppositions. Throughout every thought you have and every action you take, you are in control. If you want your life to be good, then it is. If you think that your life isn’t good, then it won’t be. Essentially, what you think and how you express those thoughts, reciprocates right back into your quality of life.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
