![Mindfulness Moment: What engages you?]()
Mindfulness
Are you constantly worried about what people think of you? Does your happiness fluctuate depending on your circumstances?
It’s time to stop that cycle.
When you rely on people or circumstances or things to define your happiness, you will always be left feeling stressed, empty, and never satisfied.
Focus on this moment and choose to discover what gives you fulfillment and empowerment.
What goals have you been pushing to the back of your life? Start with something small today. Start with writing down what you want to accomplish.
That will lead to a plan.
Remember: success begets success. But also keep in mind that true success only comes from focusing on what makes you feel engaged – not trying to please everyone or finding fulfillment in things.
