Life is an incredible adventure, and sometimes we have to face challenges and negativity on our path. Today, I want to share some words of wisdom with you, inspired by a lovely quote from my Mother:

"As you find your way to happiness,
And your dreams take flight,
The ones who once hurt you,
Will someday wish they'd been more polite." 

That is a quote my Mother, Yvonne L. Smith, said to me one day. I am unsure if she wrote it, but in my head, she did.

My Mother taught me that finding your way to happiness is not always easy. It's a winding path full of trials and tribulations. But let me tell you something, folks – that's where the magic happens. It's in those moments of struggle that you truly discover your strength and resilience.

So, don't be afraid to chase your dreams, even if the journey seems long and tiring. As you move forward, always remember to hold on to your values and focus on the good things in life. Trust me, that's the surest way to find your happiness.

As your dreams begin to take flight, you'll find yourself soaring above the clouds, leaving the weight of the world behind you. I know it's cliché, but I always say the sky's the limit, folks! When you believe in yourself and your dreams, you can reach heights you never thought possible.

Now, we all know that there are people out there who might try to bring you down. They might have hurt you in the past or even just been plain rude. But when you're focused on your dreams and happiness, you won't have time for their negativity.

As you rise above it all and find your happiness, those people who once hurt you will look up and see how far you've come. And you know what? They'll wish they'd been more polite, supportive, and understanding. But that's okay, because your happiness isn't for them – it's for you.

When you find yourself on the path to happiness, and you're soaring high, don't forget to forgive those who have hurt you. Forgiveness is a powerful thing, my friends. It frees you from the chains of the past and allows you to enjoy the sweet taste of success and happiness with no bitterness.

The journey to happiness is a beautiful one, full of twists and turns. As you chase your dreams and rise above the negativity, always remember to forgive those who have hurt you. Your happiness is a gift – to yourself and to the world – and it's one that no one can take away from you.

Stay strong, beautiful people, and remember that your happiness is worth fighting for. As always, thank you for being a part of my journey, and I'll catch you next time.
