“Most of the shadows of life are caused by standing in our own sunshine.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

We stand in our own way more often than we realize.

When you obsess about the past instead of letting it go, you’re standing in your own sunshine. When you’re worry about the future instead of creating it well by focusing on the positive, you’re standing in your own sunshine. When you strain your relationships by making your happiness other people’s responsibility, you’re standing in your own sunshine.

Create space to bask in the light of your joy today. It’s underneath the shadow of all the woes you’ve been unnecessarily carrying around.
