Happiness is Going Again

Some dreams don’t happen the first time. Becoming published certainly didn’t happen that way for me. There were twists and turns on that road, but I finally ended up reaching where I’d intended.

I have another dream I’ve been pursuing for some time now, and again, there have been some unexpected bends in the road. But I press on because I know I will reach my destination. I’ve promised myself that.

Happiness is Going Again.

It takes courage to keep pursuing our dreams. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard stories of people quitting after one try. Perseverance is the key. When I was on the road to publication, a wise writer once told me the only way I wouldn’t become published was if I quit. Wiser words were never spoken.

Of course, we’re all hoping to manifest our dreams and desires easily and effortlessly—first time around. I know I am. But when the road makes an unexpected turn again, I’m trying to lean back and enjoy the ride. That means not considering the bend in the road to be a detour.

What about you? Do you have the fortitude to pursue what you want no matter what? Are you living a life free of regrets? There’s nothing that will kill happiness faster than regret.

So, go again. Pursue that dream. Even if you’re at mile thirty, and you’re tired. Take a break and rest perhaps, but push on. You will reach it.

And oh, what a happy moment that will be.
