Happy Friday
A bit of a combination, but I think I'm trying to give up worrying about things in the future that haven't happened and that I can't control.
Sincerely,
Sabrina
This is all such good advice!

Such a nice post.
Its so hard to give up some of these things, mostly due to pride. But they're truly what's holding us back from being happier!

Give up excuses! That's what I need to do! This is a great list. Sometimes all you need is for someone to pen it down for you.
Have a great weekend lovely.

I like this post very much! It's very inspiring and motivational to be a better and happy person. It's hard to give up habitual patterns that stop us from going forward, but with practice it's very doable.
Thanks for sharing.

Now that I am back, I couldn't miss the great Friday Frills! Number 1 is totally OK with me, so that's a beginning. But numbers 4, 11, 13 and 15 are a real challenge for me. Well, at least... from 15 points... I still need to work on 4... not that bad at all, but these 4 really refrain me from many things in life... OK, working on that, as I said... thanks for this amazing Frills as always dear Sam, I love and need them! denisesplanet com
really nice post :-) a lot of that is really true
Hi Sam! You are right, all those things you listed just keep us away from happiness and we need to give up them all. I put in the first places fears, complaining and excuses; I think they are the most common causes which forbid us to live fully life. I need to improve in them too. I believe that happiness is just a positve attitude, the way we feel inside, not necessarily derived from the things that surround us. Happy Friday my dear, big kisses! xo
Easier said than done but I agree with every single point!
Great post Same & your so right! Some would be easier to do then the others! But life is always a work in progress! have a great weekend dear!!
x
1, 8 and 15 are my favourite ones! They transmit one important thing: don´t think what others think about you, be yourself and enjoy. Kisses and I wish you a lovely start of the weekend:)
This is such a perfect post! Definitely having to work on number 1! :)

Thank you for such a powerful and encouraging post, Sam! I should try to fulfill at least some of those goals, especially the one about control, because as I have a lot on my plate at the moment (university, part time job, blogging, relationship) I have to control and manage my time as efficient as possible, but when I do have time I just don't know how to let things go, as I have been used to be in control of everything!

A lot of these are easy to give up, but a couple...not so much. If I give up complaining then I feel like I don't care. Does that make sense?

So true, dear Sam, and this what I try to do each day, to make me free from all things which burdens me because as I write I think really often, the most important person in our life are the own person and I often remember me that I came alone to this world and that I will go alone from this world. And equal what one will try to do as a favor to other persons, it´s never sure, that the favor is really this what the other person wants.
Thanks a lot for the great post, the wonderful photos and that you gave me this input.
Happy weekend for you!

I guess I'm going to give up #2. :)
I would need to stop complaining about certain things. These are great, and once I work on them I will be on the road to more happiness.
