I recently took part in an interview series on the blog Becoming you, called What I. Answering the various questions got me thinking about what it is that motivates me on a daily basis, what gets me out of bed in the morning and what keeps me awake at night!

To quote myself:

"Where to begin – I guess I want what we all want – world peace, an end to all violence and suffering! To be loved and to love! To be the best darn version of me I can be!"

These were among the “things” I want in life but more important were the “things” I need -

“To be loved! To shop! To be more patient – especially with my girls! Nag less! Worry less! Laugh more! Not to care what others think about me and just be myself!”

What I have taken away from doing this interview is that first and foremost I have to be true to myself! I need to do the things that I love and in essence make me happy!

So take time out on this Monday morning and think about what makes you happy and DO IT!
