What is your happiness worth?

There is a quote from Jim Rohn that says “Unless you change how you are, you will always have what you’ve got.” The main question would be then…Are you willing to change? What is your happiness truly worth? This isn’t an easy question nor is it a solution.

However, what it does (when you ask yourself the question) is to put a spotlight on your situation and it requires you to face the mirror. Your happiness may mean telling yourself that its value outweighs many situations in your life. There may be some areas in your life that needs evaluation and once evaluated you may ask yourself if they warrant salvaging. Once weighing the pros and cons, we’re back to the beginning.

Are you willing to change?

Change isn’t easy but ultimately if it makes you a happier person. Isn’t that worth it? The areas may be mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial or relationship based. However, making the first step could be as simple as asking ourselves the question.
This past year my New Year’s Resolution was this-I deserve to be happy. Whenever obstacles were in my path and I needed to make a major decision I first asked-will this make me happy. Selfish you may say-not really, because I know what my happiness is worth. It’s worth my well-being, my peace of mind. What is yours worth and are you willing to make the change to attain it?

If we ask ourselves these questions and of course asking that we be guided by faith, then we are destined to make the right decisions.
