Inspiration… It’s inside of you!

adoptee inspirationDon’t look for inspiration from others but rather from within. When you find it, then others will be inspired by you. Isn’t it the same when we look for happiness? Why do we continue to search for people who will make us happy? I think it’s pretty common mantra now that happiness comes from within. Naturally, when you’re happy whoever you’re with will be happy too. If not, they can kick rocks! Adoptees that are unsettled and searching for their birth families thinking it will bring them happiness come crashing down hard and fast when they do find the birth family and realize they are still miserable on the inside. It’s no different when someone thinks they’ll finally be happy if they just meet that right person and then relationships fail time after time. It’s because they’re not happy with themselves. I know finding happiness within is easier said than done, right? All it takes is focus. When you stop focusing on senseless people who are sucking the life out of you and put that focus on yourself is when you will start to find it. Do things for yourself instead of waiting for them to happen to you. That takes energy and like I said, take the energy from senseless people/things and apply it to making things happen for you. Hmmm, just writing this makes me feel inspired!
