Because Jill Said So

“When I get through this, I’ll finally feel _____ (fill in the blank).” Why are we waiting to feel happy, content, satisfaction, or joy? Regardless of what negative emotions we’re in the process of working out, we need to make room to feel content in our journey. Let’s not wait till the end to be happy.

I’ve got better things to do than be offended by anyone
