It is time to start sharing things that you have found out about yourself. Whether you learned that you love sushi or you just like the quiet, it is time to spread your joy to others. We were taught that to speak about the good things that have happened in our lives somehow diminishes other peoples' happiness. It was considered 'rude' or you are just 'bragging.' What I have learned over many years of self-discovery is that in order to truly appreciate how far you've come, you need to share with others. There are stories out there that you haven't heard yet. Ones that are about other people's experiences. When you hear their trials you will realize that we are all in the same game. We are all trying to have a piece of happy where ever we can find it. It will also open your eyes and destroy the stories that you have told yourself about how everyone else is doing.
I tell you this not for bragging rights or to make others feel bad, but to help you understand that we are all taking the journey of life, and the 'perfect' journey doesn't exist nor should it. Having difficulties builds character? Well I don't think that it builds character. What it does do is it allows other parts of your own personality to shine through. Perhaps a little courage that you remember from a long time ago has now made an appearance, and that is completely awesome. We are a resilient species. We have been on this planet for many thousands of years. Those thousands of years of human DNA allow us to adapt to many different situations. This applies to finding your happiness. We adjust, we adapt and we find the situations that are best suited for our needs.
So on day twenty-eight, share your experiences the good, the bad and the indifferent. Talk things through with people that you have created your 'self made measuring stick' from, and compare your life to theirs. I bet that as rosy as you think it is, there is always something that will make you throw away that measuring stick. Keeping up with anyone is ridiculous. You are your own best champion. Look how far you have come and be proud of your successes.
Find your happy.
