Solution

The problem with wanting something too much...is that it might actually happen. So really, it's not a problem at all...

Does anything really have to be a problem? Maybe every moment we live, we're just one step closer to the solutions.

I am a firm believer that when we look for solutions, we find them.

Remember the definitions of a promise and a guarantee?

Well, solution (noun) falls right in line among them.

-the process of determining the answer to a problem or question
-the answer itself

All kinds of things fly around us, slam into us, hold us down, keep us from living our full potential or our total happiness. When something awesome is supposed to happen - meant to happen - the solution does not have to be found. The something awesome becomes the solution.

Promises + Guarantees

It's always best to begin any day or venture with promises to yourself.

promise (noun):
-a statement that you will definitely do something or that something will definitely happen in the future
-an indication of future success or improvement
-a reason to expect that something will happen in the future

So I thought I'd write some down.

Promises:

I will not stop writing. 

I will not stop living life to the fullest.

I will not stop feeling.

I will not compromise myself. 

I will be authentic.

I will keep learning.

I will take risks.

I will remember the lessons I've learned. 

I will always forgive myself.

I will surround myself with people who make me happy.

I will seek laughter.

I will spread joy.

I will do good work. 

I will have no regrets. 

The difference between a promise and a guarantee is subtle, but it's there. 

guarantee (noun):

-a formal promise or assurance that certain conditions will be fulfilled
-something that gives a certainty of outcome
-a formal pledge

And so, if I uphold the promises I have made to myself, I guarantee that I will be happy.
