Embrace the Journey: True Happiness and Personal Growth
Greetings, greetings, greetings! I’m Queen B. Divine. How are you today? This is the most important question you’ll encounter because it shapes your entire day. Your mood and mindset influence every decision you make. If you’re feeling down, your choices will reflect that. Conversely, if you’re upbeat and confident, your decisions will follow suit. So, how are you? Really, how are you?

The Power of Self-Awareness
It’s crucial to answer this question truthfully. Understanding how you feel allows your body and mind to adjust accordingly. Today, I’m feeling released—liberated after a long journey. We all have our paths, purposes, and roles in life, which don’t necessarily have to be grandiose or religious. Your purpose could simply be something that makes the world a better place, or even a little worse—it’s up to you.
The power of your mental health journey lies within you. You make the choices, and you live with the consequences. Realizing that you control your life can be exhilarating. You can make decisions that benefit you without worrying excessively about others. However, it’s also essential to consider how your choices impact those around you.
The Journey of Personal Growth
Today, we’re diving into some insightful books: *The Crystal Bible* by Judy Hall, *The Power of the Subconscious Mind* by Joseph Murray, and *The Lost Book of Herbal Remedies* by Nicole Apelian, PhD, and Claudette Davis. These books offer various healing modalities and knowledge that can help you on your personal growth journey.
In today’s society, there’s a belief that saying something makes it true. But words alone aren’t enough. For example, wearing skinny jeans doesn’t make you skinny; they are just the beginning of a journey. Similarly, smiling doesn’t necessarily mean you’re happy. Happiness comes from within and is a journey you must undertake.
The Myth of Instant Happiness
It’s a terrifying thought to rely on external factors for happiness. Real happiness exists within you and isn’t dependent on external circumstances. I used to be a chameleon, adopting the happiness of those around me. But when those relationships ended, I had to scramble to find my own happiness. This led me to realize that true happiness comes from within, not from others or external situations.
Embrace the Journey, No Shortcuts
Life is about the journey, not shortcuts. Saying you’re happy or positive isn’t enough. You have to walk the journey, do the work, and learn the lessons along the way. Healing is a process, and being healed is a state of looking back and recognizing how far you’ve come.
A Personal Story: Earning Happiness
Let me share a personal story. As a child, my brother and I wanted a Monopoly game. We didn’t have the money, so we decided to earn it by Christmas caroling. The journey of earning the money and the experience we gained was invaluable. It taught us that saying we wanted something wasn’t enough—we had to work for it.
