A True Smile

Comes From Within

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
from the heart

“Happiness

starts with you.

Not with your relationship,

not with your job,

not with your money,

but with you.”

True happiness and joy

comes from within us.

When we embrace qualities like

kindness and compassion,

we become happier

within ourselves.

Also,

following and achieving our ‘dreams’

will put a quiet contentment

inside of our minds.

All of this

will help us to balance

which is so important

for our mental and physical health.

Happiness and being happy

comes from us

loving and accepting ourselves

for ‘who’ we are,

and being willing

to improve the ‘version’

we see in the ‘mirror’.

Get to know yourself

and what and who

you want in your life.

You will achieve it.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
