What makes me happy

Spread Happy Vibes

I’m happiest when my goals, my values, and my daily life line up. I’m always looking for ways to improve myself.- to become more successful, more known, and more financially stable - and I want to use that growth to help the people I connect with. Making a difference, whether by providing tangible help or by offering a perspective that inspires someone, is deeply satisfying. That’s also why I share my inner thoughts and post blogs: to let people know they aren’t alone.

As I’ve read scriptures, I’ve come to believe that God only gives “power” to those who have a sincere heart. That doesn’t mean power can’t change someone over time. I’ve observed how people with too much power or money can lose sight of why they started and become something they were never meant to be. As I’ve grown and become more “known” in the community, I sometimes feel that sense of power getting to my head, even feeling invincible at times. I work daily on being humble and down to earth because my true aim is to help people. Even when I lose sight of that for a moments, I remember why I do this - and I wonder sometimes whether that tension is part of the challenge I’m meant to face.

Family time is important to me, but my favorite quiet moments are simple: being in bed, watching TV, and coloring. Coloring is calming and restorative for me. Staying physically and mentally healthy is a priority - sand volleyball used to keep me active, in great shape, and mentally balanced. I miss that routine and the motivation it brought. I work out when I can, and I’m looking for the drive to return to the things that kept me feeling strong and centered.

I value being part of a team where everyone belongs - where judgement and jealousy are absent and support and kindness are the norm. I know that isn’t possible 100% of the time, but preventing people from trying to tear each other down and instead building one another up is what truly matters. That sense of belonging is a steady source of joy and energy for me. Whether I’m mentoring colleagues, improving patient care and assessments, or supporting friends and family, I enjoy roles where I can contribute and see real impact.

These elements - purposeful growth, close family moments, quiet hobbies, physical activity, and supportive teams - combine into what makes me happy. They remind me of who I want to be and why I show up for others, both on and off the job. The urgency of the call, the quiet of a reassured patient, mentoring a young clinician, and strengthening community resilience all make this work meaningful. That meaning is what keeps me coming back, ready for the next challenge.

The Best Decision

Here is the hard truth to accept.

You cannot make someone love you.

Here is a harder truth to accept.

The best decision that you will ever make is to stop wanting the love of someone who does not love you.
