You Don’t Need More to Feel Better. You Need Truth.
Happiness isn’t out there. It’s buried under what you’re tolerating.
We’ve been programmed to believe that happiness is something you chase.
Something you earn.
Something that lives on the other side of “achievement.”
If I just get the promotion.
If I finally hit that number.
If I fix my body / my love life / my finances… then I’ll feel better.
But babe — what if the opposite is true?
What if the reason you feel disconnected isn’t because you haven’t reached the thing…
But because you’re holding on to sh*t that was never meant for you.
The job that looks good on LinkedIn but drains your spirit.
The friendship that’s built on guilt and obligation.
The identity you’ve outgrown, but feel scared to release.
That’s what’s blocking the joy.
Not a lack of success but a surplus of self-abandonment.

OFH isn’t about chasing more.
It’s about clearing what’s not true.
✨
Joy doesn’t require perfection.
It requires honesty.

OFH Prompt:
What would you walk away from if you weren’t afraid of disappointing anyone?
Be brave enough to answer.
Because the moment you stop outsourcing your joy you start remembering your power.
You don’t have to burn it all down today.
But you can stop tolerating what dims your light.
Joy is waiting.
Not out there.
Right here.
Underneath the weight of what you’re done carrying.
