Happiness?
What is happiness to you? Is it having as many possessions as you can possibly gather along the way? Is happiness being able to say you have more than the neighbor down the street, or that you are better than them?
I used to think that “stuff” made me happy. When I was having a bad day, I would go shopping. I literally still have stuff in bags that has never been taken out of the bag once I got it home. Of course, all of this shopping, never made the issues at hand go away. In fact, in some instances, made them worse.
What I have found is that true happiness comes from within yourself. You have to be comfortable with yourself, and love yourself. If you want to be the best athlete you can possibly be, then do it. With the right tools, and nutrition, you can absolutely achieve this goal, and you know that will be a truly happy day when you can look at yourself in the mirror, and say that you are a winner. When you can actually see your achievements after all of the hard work you have put in, you will be so filled with pride and joy. You may even find that you are passing on that same feeling of personal motivation to others, and spreading happiness without even trying! All of this, because you worked on yourself, instead of trying to “keep up with the Jones’s” which of course will just make anyone of us crazy!
