Only you can create your own happiness...

Hi guys! 

Lately I have seen a trend happening in some relationships and it has sparked some inspiration for my blog this week! One of the biggest pieces of advice that I think is most helpful for anyone and everyone to hear, including myself, is you are responsible for your own happiness. Never expect your partner to create that happiness for you, it isn't their job. Of course it is rather pleasing when your partner is acting in a way that brings you great joy but expecting them to act and adhere a certain way in order to make you feel happy isn't fair to them. It's a burden that is placed on them and because we are all imperfect people who make mistakes and bad decisions from time to time, that can never be fully accomplished. If you are thinking that your significant other or partner is going to complete you then you are looking in all of the wrong places to find that wholeness, happiness, and fulfillment that only YOU can bring to yourself. It's time to find a way to make yourself feel the way that you want. For a long time, I held my husband responsible for my happiness and not only did it put a strain on our relationship but when those expectations were not met, feelings of anger and sadness would resonate within both of us and it ended up tearing us apart because we both became so fixated on the relationship rather than doing what was best for us as individuals. We were so focused on making each other happy that we forgot what truly brought our own selves happiness. Obviously, later on we reunited back together and lived happily ever after but it took that separation for us to discover and reconnect with ourselves and what brought us happiness apart from each other. Once we were able to bring our own forms of happiness to ourselves, we realized that our entire relationship transformed for the better. Our relationship became more meaningful, stronger, more free, and happier. At the end of the day, that happiness that we now can bring to our self, not only helped us to grow within ourselves but we grew as a couple too. So ladies and maybe the few gents that read this....go find your own happiness and always have joy in your life. 

Stay happy and beautiful! :)
