5 simple reminders for choosing happiness


1. Never let one bad day make you feel like you have a bad life.
2. Do small things with huge amounts of love. 
3. Don’t waste your time being upset about something you can’t change.  Start again right now and do it better this time.
4. The best thing that you can do in life is follow your intuition.  Take risks.  Don’t just make the safe and easy choices because you’re afraid of what might happen.  If you do, nothing will ever happen.
5. Life is like a rainbow, you need both the sun and the rain to make its colors appear.


Here's to a happy Wednesday!

    Absolutely love this post Rachel!!! Honestly, just that moodboard cheered me up! But I love, love, love these reminders for choosing happiness. And I really do think more and more that it is about that--CHOOSING happiness. That it isn't about your outside circumstances or your outside life reflecting happiness, but you deciding inside yourself to live in that state. Happy Wednesday lady!
