Sometimes when your down and out, not feeling your best, or feeling like the world and the people in to are against you, you have to pull from your gut and remind yourself that no matter what you will be happy. You will "fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it...". Sometimes is all you have to hold onto. I am reminded. I remind myself. I have to.
Then somedays you just are.
“Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it. You must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it.” Eat Pray Love, Elisabeth Gilbert
“Now and then it's good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy.”
― Guillaume Apollinaire
