Happiness is the best make-up

~Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore is indeed accurate when she says “happiness is the best make-up” but the big question remains. How can we apply the “happiness make-up?” but more importantly where can we get the “happiness make-up?”

In my pursuit of happiness I’ve read so many happiness articles, watched tons of how to happy videos and read a bizillion of happiness self-help books until I stumbled upon a great combination of videos and self-help books that helped me nail down happiness to 1 key ingredient.

The missing ingredient in your happiness recipe is (drum roll please) :

🔘 TAKING RESPONSIBILITY 🔘

Not the main, magical, missing ingredient that is supposed to change your life that you were expecting, is it?

Psychologists have been researching the cause of happiness or the science behind happiness for a long time now. They found what happy people have in common. Before you guess, NO, no, it wasn’t money, it wasn’t a mansion with 7 floors(although that would be awesome) but it was the ability to take responsibility in spite of their circumstances.

~WHAT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY MEANS~

Taking responsibility means being responsible for everything that happens in your life, good or bad. I know that it’s your parents’ fault that you have low self-esteem, I know it’s your boss’s fault that you can’t afford that vacation, I know it’s the government’s fault that you’re living in your mom’s basement but you should take responsibility no matter whose fault it it.

If you play the blame game with your life, always pinning every single thing that’s wrong in your life to someone you’ll never be truly happy. You’ll always be a grumpy woman or man.

You have the power to choose to be happy by choosing to be 💯 responsible, not only for your actions but for everything that happens in your life, good or bad. You have more power to control your life than you think. I’m here to remind you that.

I hope that you’ll use the ingredient to complete your happiness recipe.
