Love and acceptance

True joy comes from within.
  External things will bring us pleasure,
but it doesn't last for long.
 
I spent a lifetime chasing happiness...
without little success.
 
I first, had to get happy with myself by...
learning to love and accept the person I was,
forgiving my past mistakes,
and ceasing all negative self-talk.
 
Where does your happiness come from?
Do you look for others to make you happy?
And the BIG question is: do you love yourself?

 Our wounds are often the openings into the best
and most beautiful part of us.”
