People often ask me how I can be so positive and happy all the time and even more people assume I live an easy, breezy, completely carefree life where bad things don’t happen to me.

We ALL have struggles in life and it is how we handle these struggles and the attitude we CHOOSE that makes all the difference.

This past year of my life has been by far the hardest out of all of my 34 years on this planet. It was full of disappointment, sorrow, loss, and betrayal, but it has also been full of life, love, and laughter.

It isn’t what happens to us that determines our happiness. It is how we choose to view our circumstances and become our own heroes.

If you see me be-bopping through the neighborhood, grocery store, or anywhere else with my headphones in, you can bet I am listening to my own “soundtrack for life” filled with Pandora stations of Donavan Frankenreiter, Jack Johnson, and Michael Franti.

How do YOU maintain inner peace on a daily basis?
