It’s YOUR Happiness! Quotes About Trusting Yourself & Owning Your Journey

At the end of the day, it’s YOUR life and YOUR happiness.  This is something I have to frequently remind myself of.

The past 6 months have been filled with a lot of self-exploration, realizations, and moments of self-acceptance.  For those loyal readers of Mindfully Glam, you probably noticed that I took a bit of a hiatus from blogging.  I enrolled in a Broadcast Journalism program which consumed my time, and aside from that, I simply had a lot of “figuring-myself-out” work to do that was blocking me from writing and being creative.

I recently came back to the draft of this post, and I was shocked to see that I originally began creating this on September 9, 2018.  I’ve gotten to know myself a lot better since then, but these quotes still ring true..actually, very much so.  I’m the first to admit that I don’t have everything figured out, however, I do know that these are some awesome quotes that bring me a sense of peace and relief every single time I read them.
