Remember where you came from

Last night at my zumba class a friend gave me this sign. 

She said: I have one and now you do too. You'll have to let me know where you put it.

I got home and got to my room. There is only one place it could go. Right above my goal pants and my original workout clothes. They are the true sign of where I am going and where I have come from. It sits next to a sign that says: follow your heart. Both are great reminders of things that you need to do everyday. Follow your heart. Do what you love, what feels right. Grab ahold of life and don't let go. When you get where you want to be remember where you came from and how you got there and then… set a new destination.

Happiness is NOT a Destination

Happiness is an adventure, not a destination; happiness is to be found along the way not at the end of the road. 
Sitting at #zincon2014 (Zumba Fitness Instructor Convention 2014) we had a guest speaker. A professor from Harvard. They called him "Dr. Love". This professor talked to us about happiness. What he said struck me. He said: Happiness is not a destination. He then talked and asked questions of us about what happiness was. 
What did I take away from his amazing presentation? Happiness is a feeling. Happiness is doing what you want to and enjoying it. If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change the way you look at it. That happiness is waking up and choosing to do what you want to in order to be happy. Sometimes this evolves taking chances. 
So surround yourself with the people and things that make you happy. Don't waste time with those who don't. Do things that make you want to be better. Take time for yourself and enjoy every experience  Be happy every step of your adventure.
