Chasing happiness
Nov. 11th 2011 by Fesjon Guest EditorGuest editor for a week: Moriam
The most underrated thing in life is the pursuit of happiness. Living each day in and out trying to find out what that actually is pretty tiring too and often we’re inundated with distractions of pessimism and negative thoughts brought to us as a kind ‘protection’ thing. In all honesty those who tell us to us to watch out, be careful, think again and not to take any risks are actually thinking more of themselves than of us. For if you were to chase and find your happiness where would they then be?
I myself was lucky to have always known which direction I wanted to go in my life. In fact from the age of 11 I knew it and pursued it. Happiness to me is in knowing who you are separate from who other think you are or expect of you. Happiness is going after your dreams, daring to take the step and just doing it.
Of course it’s scary at times, but that doesn’t mean you should do it. There are lessons to learn in every adventure you take, there are challenges but never problems. You can get over and achieve anything you really want to and yes, it is a question of mind of matter. I guarantee you this for 100%.
This is was exactly the reason why two good friends of mine, Denise Riedstra and Michelle van Stijn started the Fem Divine Foundation. Fem Divine is all about helping women achieve their dreams. Feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Why would you live any other life? Why not go after what your heart desires and make good money at the same time.
As an entrepreneur financial independence is important to me, I think big, aim high and intend to reach the destination I am heading for and because of this I am well on the way through my pursuit of happiness and wish this for other too. Our foundation provides mentoring and coaching as well as inspirational workshops and session.
We’re teaching and show examples of how women can follow their dream and start their own business, but also how to cope in tough times, what this does to you and how you can still overcome no matter what the odds are.
