Week 4 - Choosing Happiness Daily

So, I hadn't posted the exciting news last week because I haven't told all of my family yet but chances are they don't see this blog. If you are my family and you are reading this stop reading and give me a call! For the rest of you who are pretty much strangers to me, Last week I found out that I was pregnant! This whole week I haven't been able to focus on anything but that it seems. I am so overcome with joy and gratitude for this new opportunity to grow as a wife and new mother. It is such a miracle and I believe the thing that brings us true happiness in life.

While I studied for school this week in my entrepreneur class we learned about what success and happiness really mean when it comes to careers and the business world. In all honesty I don't have this huge passion to be an entrepreneur. What I do have a passion for is being a good mom and helping my husband to accomplish his goals and dreams and I think that is a different side of entrepreneurship. So, naturally as I was reading and doing our assignments I reflected on how all of this can make me a better mom and wife. I also contemplated job opportunities I could do at home and realized that having my own business from home would actually not be that bad of an idea :). So, what do ya know? Without even realizing it I am trying to fulfill some sort of business.

Honestly, having a family is hard work. I am just at the beginning of starting my own but I have seen the hard work my own family has put into being successful in our relationships as a family. It takes perseverance. It takes skill. It takes luck. It takes character. There isn't just one thing that leads you to be successful. It is a continual effort that eventually leads you to finding that success you have been working for.

I believe that if you want something bad enough... you will get it. For example, ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to serve a mission, get married fairly young, and start a family. All of which have come true! My dreams are coming true. And it isn't because I am some crazy amazing person that is so successful. Its because I know what I want and what makes me happy and because of that I am able to work towards something and go out and grab what I want!

Happiest week :) Life is so good and I hope I can continue to find happiness and success in this life
