Weekly Caregiver Tip: May 11, 2008

Your Happiness Can Be First

Our Constitution guarantees us the right to the pursuit of happiness.

But, do you place your pursuit a second to another's? Meaning, do you believe you must put energy into another's pursuit, leaving yours to fall behind?

Happiness, often, is a choice. When you awake in the morning, you can choose to feel a certain way, even in the face of pain and heartache. You can choose to enjoy moments of happiness throughout your day. And, so can others--it's their choice.

You are your own happiness. It's a precious right deserving of a first-place finish. Your happiness deserves to be your first priority.
