The Key to Joy and Happiness!

“SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF THE PICTURE OF WHAT YOU THOUGHT LIFE WOULD LOOK LIKE AND LEARN TO FIND THE JOY IN THE STORY YOU’RE LIVING.”

I absolutely love this saying.  I stumbled across it recently on social media and have been contemplating it’s meaning since. 

Letting go is such a tough thing to do – especially of our expectations.  We all have dreams and expectations of what we want and for the way we hope things will turn out.  But sometime, if not frequently, things don’t end up the way we want them to.  The pain comes when we hold on to what we expect as opposed to letting it go and embracing what we have.  That’s the key really to happiness and peace of mind.  Loving what we have or as the saying goes… “learning to find the joy in the story we are living.”  When we do that, we’re living in the moment.  And almost nothing can make us happier.
