Happiness, if you think about it, is the biggest conundrum we face. The pursuit of it is why we do basically everything that we do, and yet, none of that effort is necessary: it’s the simplest choice of changing our state of mind.” Possibly one of the best books I’ve ever read. I’ve been moved to tears a number of times and felt that Brianna Wiest was seeing into my soul and calling out my truths. I felt both vulnerable and empowered at the same time. Your story is not to be written as a novel you are a collection of the people you’ve become and the people you’ve yet to be a series of stories told in sequence sometimes with rhyme and sometimes without reason a neverending exploration of every corner of your potential please don’t worry if you cannot converge your old selves you are not meant to understand them you are only meant to set them free”

Being mentally strong is a process, and it is a practice. This is where you can begin. Brianna Wiest The mountain is a teacher.The key to finding happiness in this life is realizing that the only way to overcome is to transcend; to find happiness in the simple pleasures, to master the art of just being.” Happy people know suffering more than anyone else, and that’s how they can see just how damn beautiful their lives are. It’s because they’ve seen the depths.” Your feelings are not intended to guide you throughout life; that is what your mind is for. Brianna Wiest Healing is difficult. But it is necessary. Because experience is always multi-dimensional, there are a variety of memories, experiences, feelings, “gists” you can choose to recall…and what you choose is indicative of your present state of mind. So many people get caught up in allowing the past to define them or haunt them simply because they have not evolved to the place of seeing how the past did not prevent them from achieving the life they want, it facilitated it. This doesn’t mean to disregard or gloss over painful or traumatic events, but simply to be able to recall them with acceptance and to be able to place them in the storyline of your personal evolution.” A friend once told me that the secret to finding love was not to actually look for it, but to heal the things that were preventing you from seeing and receiving it. I think the biggest one of all is, “What will having this love fix?”

It is not what we are given or not, but how we take what's in front of us and turn it into all we ever need it to be."What will having this person next to me make me feel better about? What do I need them to tell me? What do I need them to prove? Who do I need them to look great in front of? What purpose do they serve for my ego?” Some of the emotions that are most strongly connected with self-sabotaging behaviors are actually important for us to better understand. It is not about simply ‘getting over’ them; it is about listening to what they are trying to tell us about our experience. Brianna Wiest You must stop tuning out what you already know to be true. At the end of the day, all we really want are a few close people who know us (and love us) no matter what.”

It made me realize that I am full of possibilities and that the closed doors that fill my 'what ifs' might not have nothing special for me behind it. After embarking upon her own journey of self-healing over a decade ago, Brianna turned to writing as a way of processing. She has since touched millions with messages of empowerment, self-reflection, and hope. Joy will find you. It will find you when you least anticipate it. It will find you when you have all but given up hope that it still exists. This is the most memorable line from the book that changed the way I handle my feelings and emotions: Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked and understood. It doesn’t matter. Brianna Wiest Negative emotions=messengers.

For the people-pleasers:

Moving on is really hard, if it's not hard the you probably didn't love that much. Healing takes time. It's a step by step. Just cry it our.
