Being happy


 To be happy, we need good self-esteem.
Don’t confuse this with being perfect.
Having good self-esteem happens as a result
of accepting ourselves where we are at...
throwing out judgment.
This doesn’t mean we won’t strive...
to do better,
but we don’t have to graduate
from the school of perfection
to feel happy.

I want to sing like the birds sing,
not worrying about who hears or what they think.”

Transitioning from a point of letting go to welcoming something new can be uncomfortable, but at the same time, neccessary.
