"It's about being happy, it's about living your life- not anyone else's life. But it's the life that YOU want to live, the life that makes you happy, that makes you share with the world what it is that you want to share. ~Aimee DuFresne, Episode 063 Do you ever find yourself dangling the proverbial carrot in front of yourself? "I'll be happy when I..." or "If only I could just..." or "I'll take a break once I..."
