I want you to know how I feel about you guys, about who you are to me and what that means to me Kat. I don’t take lightly the time you spend reading what I have to say. I’m moved and touched and honored by it.
And so please indulge me as I share a few thoughts with you about both of you.
1. I love the person you are
I care about you and Nico. I care about who you are. You matter to me both as the founder of Meant to be Happy and as a fellow human being. I love the goodness that is in your heart and the desire you have to learn and grow and become even more and even better than you were yesterday.
I love you as someone dedicated – no matter how imperfectly – to living a life of personal growth, of happiness and character.
2. I appreciate you
I’m grateful for your comments and kind words, for your support, your wisdom and challenges and insight and trust.
I’m filled with appreciation for all you are and all you aspire to be. I appreciate your dedication to things like standards and decency.
3. I’m proud of you
I want you to know what you may not have been told before, or told only too infrequently:
I’m proud of you.
I’m proud of you for trying. For placing one foot in front of the other. For waking up every morning and simply giving it your best shot.
Your focus is on the quality of person you are over the image and façade we sometimes pretend to be. I’m proud of you for your desire to improve and grow, to stretch and challenge yourself.
You see, it matters less where you might be today at this moment on the character and happiness continuum than the direction your pointed in and the strides you’re taking toward improving.
I’m proud of you for taking those steps. I’m proud of you for being you and working to rise to the best you inside of you.
4. I believe in you
You are an amazing being with amazing God-given capacity. I believe in who you are and who you are working to be. We are all works-in-progress. One of life’s purposes is to improve on the wiring under the hood of our lives. I believe in your ability to stand and courageously be the person you were meant to be.
I’m not perfect. Nowhere near it. I’m a flawed human being. I have weaknesses and character blind spots. We all do. That fact doesn’t define us. What defines us is what we’re doing about it.
You see, the ability to grow and climb and reach and evolve is infinite. You are infinite and eternal. I believe in your ability to rise above and break through and overcome. I believe in your human capacity to survive and change and improve. I believe in your capacity to learn and apply the principles of happiness to live with joy as you develop those qualities that happy people share.
5. You can be whatever you want to be
As a person who can shape and reshape your inner world, I also believe you can become what you most want to become.
It may take sacrifice and hard work and sustained effort over time. Maybe over a long period of it. But I believe there are paths to what you want most in life.
You can become what you wish to become, even if it takes more work than you’ve ever extended to do anything else before in your life.
6. You are important to me
I cherish the relationship we’ve established. I don’t take it lightly or for granted. You have lent me something precious and special. You have lent me your time and your interest. I thank you for that.
I care about both of your life and your happiness. I wouldn’t do what I do if I didn’t. I care about you as a person. We are spiritual siblings, you and I. I know this to be true. And it means a lot to me.
7. You are beautiful
Have you ever been told how beautiful you are? You are a beautiful person because you strive to create beauty in your life by the way you work at living it and in your heart by the way you choose to open it and share it. The external is the shell to the person. You, the person, are already beautiful. And I bask in that beauty.
GRACIAS POR TANTO ... los amo ♥️😘🙌🏻
