Happy

I choose values over metrics of success.

Because I know that what truly matters is felt in the heart, not measured on dashboards or OKRs.

I choose consistency over temporary bursts of motivation.

Because anything sustainable takes time to build, not a sprint of effort.

I choose roots over appearances.

Because inner stability will always matter more than external perception.

I choose simplicity over unnecessary complexity.

Because clarity comes from removing, not adding.

I choose work that aligns with who I am over work the world says is “good.”

Because I want a life built on alignment, not self-betrayal.

I choose inner steadiness over confidence from others.

Because praise can help—but peace has to come from within.

I choose direction over speed.

Because growth without knowing where you’re going isn’t growth at all.

I choose love over fear.

Because creativity grows from safety, not pressure.

I choose a calmer version of myself over a stronger version that’s always exhausted.

Because the best kind of strength doesn’t hurt you.

I choose to be human rather than a machine.

A human who feels, thinks, slows down, speeds up, falls, rests, and begins again.

I choose to believe happiness comes from the things we choose.

And when we are the ones who choose—we reclaim our power.
