The Relationship with Yourself: I'm Finally Doing Right By Me

A healthy relationship with yourself affects your happiness. Only a few short years ago, I was by most definitions incredibly successful. I was making a good living and had achieved my goal of running my own non-profit organization. But I wasn't happy. Since then, I learned that only the relationship with yourself truly matters.

I learned my happiness has to come first (Want to be Happy? 9 Things to Stop Doing Right Now). I left my job and the nonprofit world behind and have spent the past seven months traveling the world as a blogger. I am poorer and arguably less professionally successful, but I have never been happier.

I would make that trade again every day.
