Happiness

If i had jus a little more money I'd be happy. Once I get to a specific place in my life, I'll be happy. As soon as I have the perfect car, Ill be set. When I am back to my high school clothes, I'll finally be feeling unstoppable!

How many of you have thought this? Well it wasn't until a few weeks ago that I realized this was a big pile of bologna!

 I was sitting at home and watching a session of the LDS General Conference   that I had this realization. I do not understand why or when I became so influenced by the world and started to think that way. I've honestly been killing myself and stressing myself out thinking like this!

I'm not gonna lie, IF some of those things actual came true- more money, back to my high school clothes- I wouldn't mind. Hell, I'd be ecstatic!  But really, the only thing that matters now is that I live in the present and be grateful for what I have at the moment. Gratitude is what brings me more blessings and more happiness. 

I am extremely grateful for my beautiful son, my parents who have been there for me always, my family and friends who are my greatest support, my aunt & uncle who have given me a job where I can bring Liamcito. More importantly, I am so eternally grateful for my Father in Heaven, who loves me so much to send his son to pay for my way back to him. I honestly do not know where I'd be without the gospel in my life. 

I am so grateful for my life!
