today's happiness.

so i had a completely random post planned out for today.

a post that is not getting published for a few reasons.

one of which is because of an email i received from a coworker. a coworker that instead of just sending it via email decided to print it out for us as well. because you see, it's that good.

so instead of sharing my random post with you today, i'm going to share with you what her email said instead. 

because like i already told you, it's that good.

and quite frankly, it's that appropriate.

steps to happiness today:

you can't be all things to all people.

you can't do all things at once.

you can't do all things equally well.

you can't do all things better than everyone else.

your humanity is showing, just like everyone else's.

so...

you have to find out who you are. and be that.

you have to decide what comes first. and do that.

you have to discover your strengths. and use them.

you have to learn not to compete or feel jealous of others- 

because no one else is in the contest of being you.

then...

you will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.

you will have learned to set your own priorities and make decisions.

you will have learned to live with your own limitations.

you will have learned to give yourself the respect you deserve.

and, if you do, you will be a vital person.

dare to believe...

that you, as yourself, are a wonderful and unique person.

that you are a once in all history event.

that it is more than your right, but it is your duty to be who you are.

that life is not a daily problem to solve, 

but a daily gift to cherish.
