A little something that made me smile.....

I was reading an article this morning.. and as l progressed through it l realised how much of it was so true and actually l could relate to so much of it... my life hasn't been easy ans have through some very rough times... but now... l can see the light at the end of the tunnel and these words.. well they made me smile.....

Here are 20 #signs that you are succeeding in life....

1. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS ARE LESS DRAMATIC THAN THEY USED TO BE

Drama is not maturity. As we age, we should develop maturity. So maybe your relationships were drama-filled in your past, but if you have moved beyond that, then you are successful.

2. YOU ARE NOT AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP AND SUPPORT ANY MORE

Asking for help does not equal weakness. In fact, it is a strength. No person has ever succeeded in isolation. It takes teamwork to accomplish goals. Asking or help is a sign that you have grown as a person.

3. YOU HAVE RAISED YOUR STANDARDS

You don’t tolerate bad behavior any more – from other people, or even yourself. You hold #people accountable for their actions. You don’t spend #time with the “energy vampires” in your life anymore.

4. YOU LET GO OF THINGS THAT DON’T MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD

No, this is not narcissistic even though it might seem like it. Self-love is success. Love yourself enough to say ‘no’ to anything that doesn’t make you happy, doesn’t serve your purpose, or drags you down.

5. YOU HAVE MOMENTS WHERE YOU APPRECIATE WHO YOU SEE IN THE MIRROR

Ideally, you should appreciate who you see in the mirror at every moment. But even if that doesn’t happen, if you do it more than you used to, then that is success. Love yourself. You are awesome.

6. YOU HAVE LEARNED THAT SETBACKS AND FAILURE ARE PART OF SELF-GROWTH

Not everyone can have success 100% of the #time. That’s just not realistic. Life is about victories and losses. So #lookat your setbacks as stepping stones to something better. In reality, there really is no such thing as as setback. It’s all just part of a wondrous journey.

7. YOU HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM THAT INCLUDES PEOPLE WHO WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOU

If you have figured out the people who “have your back” and recognized the ones who only pretend that they do, then you have succeeded. This is a painful realization, but once you learn to see the signs of betrayal, you can stay away from those #people.

8. YOU DON’T COMPLAIN MUCH

Because you know there really is nothing to complain about. Unless you really have gone through some horrific life experience and had unimaginable losses, most of what we all experience on a day-to-day basis is just mundane. And successful #people know that. And they live in a space of gratitude.

9. YOU CAN CELEBRATE OTHERS’ SUCCESSES

Just because other people succeed, that doesn’t make you a failure. Applaud the #people who rise to the top. The more positive energy you give to other people’s victories, the more you will create your own.

10. YOU HAVE PASSIONS THAT YOU PURSUE

You are not stagnant. You know you have something wonderful to contribute to the #world. You have unique talents and gifts. Not only do you know that, you pursue it.

11. YOU HAVE THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO

If you don’t have exciting #things going on in your life that you are eagerly anticipating, then you are slowly dying inside. Successful #people create goals that they are passionate about pursuing. They let this excitement drive their life.

12. YOU HAVE GOALS THAT HAVE COME TRUE

Even though “failures” are a part of #life, you have stuck to your goals and dreams long enough to make them come to fruition. You have some tastes of victory. It fuels you.

13. YOU HAVE EMPATHY FOR OTHERS

A person without empathy is dead inside. Empathy equals spreading love and positive energy into the #world. Successful #people know this. They love others as if they are family.

14. YOU LOVE DEEPLY AND OPEN YOURSELF UP TO BE LOVED BY OTHERS

Love is risky, and sometimes scary for #people. It’s the one thing we all strive for, but it’s also intimately tied to the one thing we fear the most – rejection. If you open your heart enough to love and be loved, then you are successful.

15. YOU REFUSE TO BE BE A VICTIM

You know that life doesn’t always happen to you. Many times, you are a co-creator of your life experiences. Successful #people know this and refuse to be kept down by life experiences. The rise up and conquer anyway.

16. YOU DON’T CARE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK

You know you can’t please everyone. You know that the standards with which society judges #people is many times unrealistic. So you just keep true to yourself and love the person you are.

17. YOU ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE

Life can be full of disappointments – if you choose to see them that way. Otherwise, they are learning opportunities. No negative experience is ever wasted as long as you learn from it.

18. YOU ACCEPT WHAT YOU CAN’T CHANGE

Let’s face it – there many #things you can’t change in life. All you can change is how you view what happens. If you can change your negative perspective on situations to a positive one, then you are successful.

19. YOU CHANGE WHAT YOU CAN

And let’s face it again – there are many #things you can change in life. Successful #people don’t sit around accepting the negatives that are changeable. They get out there and do something about it!!

20. YOU ARE HAPPY

To me, this is the ultimate definition of success. It doesn’t matter what the balance is in your bank account, how big your house is, or how many fancy vacations you take. If you are happy, then you are succeeding in life.

Even if you don’t see yourself in many of these 20 things, don’t fret. It’s okay. Be happy that you see yourself in just a few. In #time, the rest will come. You just need to keep moving onward and upward.

I hope this has made you smile too..

A Glimpse of Recent Outfit Of the Day's..

I have to admit l love to take the outfit of the day pictures, and Mr happy is very tolerant about taking them each day, although my Son and even 7 year old Grandson have to been known to take a few photos...

Love this Outfit sort of thrown together from bits and pieces l had in the back of the wardrobe..

Peachy edge to edge jacket from Dorothy Perkins, bought in the Summer but never used, so thought it would brighten up at Autumn day..

I have always wanted a Fur Gillet, and finding a bargain on Ebay just made me smile, Just adore this outfit and feel so comfy in it..

Taking a summer dress and styling it for Autumn, leggings and brown knee high boots

Not quite High Street fashion, but hey it still suits me..

Just adore this kimono form BooHoo and it arrived just in time for a family meal out, had lots of complements about it.. which always makes you smile...

Mud, Motorbikes and Munchies...

...Catching up with the last couple of week's events and of course Outfits of the Day....

So a couple of weekends ago we went off to watch the final of the British Super bikes at Brands Hatch, what a fantastic day, each time l go back there l just enjoy it more and more, sadly the weather was a little wet to say the least when we first got there, but l have to say it didn't stop us walking the whole track, seeing some fantastic races and was proud to be there and see our friends son Jack Dixon come fourth in the SuperSport race... Usually our mode of transport in the bikes, but as Mr Happy's daughter was joining we took Daisy, my little car...
