If we're not chasing happiness, we

won't ever achieve it. I was already very happy, but

I just needed more of that, and I needed to be having

that every day, a continuous flow of happiness, and that

can come from... Just try to find a

couple of things that you can be thankful for, that you

can be grateful for. You can just say, I am happy, even

if you don't feel it, because the more we put out, the more that

we will get back in return. People have so

much amazing things in their life to make them happy. So

I just want to encourage you to take a moment and have a look around

your life, your environment, what you've created for

yourself and ask yourself. Welcome to

Krystal Rowe Impacts, a space dedicated to empowering

you to be the change that your bloodline has been waiting for. Join

me and together, let's inspire change. Welcome

back to the Krystal Rowe Impact podcast. And

today we are going to talk about life. And

I'm going to be sharing with you how crazy

life can get and how important it is to

keep our mind set on the end goal and

the vision and the importance of

where we want to go. For me, over,

I don't know, the last couple of months, it

has been really, really challenging and it's

been a crazy time and it's life.

And I guess I want to share with you how important

it is to have a vision and to know

where your destination is, because I know that

a lot of the time when I was lost,

I just didn't know what direction to go because I didn't have

an end goal in place or I didn't have an end destination

and my vision wasn't clear. And so it

was really easy to get distracted or to

lose focus. And when life happened, it was so

easy for me to become consumed in the

events that I just lost vision so

quickly and I lost focus. Just before

this shoot, I became not unclear, but

I had to process a lot of my

own internal thoughts and remember

where I was going and where I

wanted to, or who I wanted to become. Because

life was throwing us so much different things in

business, in our family, in our extended family.

And both my husband and I had to go

back to New Zealand and deal with some really

sad things and It affected me

and it made me realise what is important in life

and what I wanted. So

after coming back from New Zealand, I realised that

my heart had just been changed a little bit. And

like I said, it's really easy to get lost in the emotion

and the heartache. And a

lot of people, I feel, can get consumed.

And I almost did within my, not

so much my sadness, but my passion

for happiness, my

desire for happiness and trying

to connect my vision with

my heart again and it's really crazy how

you can be consumed with life. My biggest lesson

from All of the emotions that I

experienced while I was in New Zealand was connection

and not changing who

you are because life throws you

a whole lot of shit. I don't know if I'm the only

one. I'm sure I can't be the only one that is

at this stage of my life where everything is

going on and you're trying to reach

those goals and push for

that vision and achieve the things that you need

to achieve to get to the next step. And then life

happens and you're just like, wow. For

me, when I went back to New Zealand and I realised that I

didn't take all the opportunities that I should have to

connect with my family and my grandparents. I realized

the importance of showing people

who you truly are and not

allowing your past or your

pain or what you think

people think of you to dictate

how you show up. And

what I learnt most is

that connection and

happiness are the most important things for me

because when I feel connected, I

feel happy. And a lot of the time we

lose the importance of connecting with

our loved ones and we lose the importance of happiness. So

when I returned to New Zealand because my grandfather

was unwell, he said to

me that he's okay because he's had

a happy life. And

that really, really made me think, am I happy? And

it made me feel like that was the most important thing

to chase. And I know that it's great to have

goals for materialistic things and it's great

to have goals to achieve to

get us to more financial freedom or

more contentment and

all of those things. But if we're not chasing happiness,

we won't ever achieve it. And then If

we can't be it, we won't experience

it. And I realized as well that

I was already very happy. But I just needed

more of that and I needed to be having that

every day, a continuous flow of happiness. And that

can come from gratitude and it can come from just being

and experiencing and engaging and connecting with

your loved ones and the ones that matter most. And

so for me, life is happening all the time within business,

within my relationships with my husband, relationships with

all my children, their emotions and everything. But

if my main goal and what I have been focusing on is

happiness, I get that. And

I get to be happy. And I truly hope that

my podcast actually reaches people and encourages

them and empowers them to be happy as well. And

I know that a lot of people can go

through life and they feel moments of

happiness. But I truly believe that we can have

a continuous flow and a continuous source of happiness. How

I would define happiness? is when your children are

running up to you and you just want to run back to them, run

towards them. True happiness is knowing

that what was sent to destroy you, you

overcome. The success and

the victory that you get to show up every day

for the people that you love and give them the best of

you is happiness. When

you wake up every day, next to the person that you love,

that's happiness. So a lot of people have so

much amazing things in their life to make them happy, but they're

too busy caught up in life and

all the obstacles and challenges and things that life throws at

us to realise that they have everything right

in front of them that makes them happy. So I

just want to encourage you to take a moment and have a look around

your life, your environment, what

you've created for yourself, and ask yourself, am

I already happy? Do I have everything in front of

me right now that creates

happiness? Because I can

guarantee you if you've gone through a lot of things and

you are truly living life, you have so much to

be happy for. You just have to start

feeling it and you just have to start being happy

because happiness is the end goal. It's

the end goal for me. I want to be on

this beautiful journey of life, happy. And

no matter where we go in life and where our destination is,

some people just want to have a

business. Some people just want to travel. Some people want

to just be a mum, be a dad. We don't all

have to have the big visions and the grand destinations.

And sometimes we just want to be able to get through happy.

And I just know that sometimes life is sent to destroy

us and make it hard. But if you keep focusing

on the great things that you have in your life, you

will get through. And you can just keep focused

by really understanding what is important. And for

me, that is happiness. Your focus goes, energy

flows. And we want more of that. We

want more of the good stuff. I know that it might

come across that it's easy for me to say to be happy. I have an

amazing husband, I have a lot of children and a

business and I have some really positive goals

and visions that I'm working towards. But

I know what it's like to not have those as well. And

so if you are struggling to find something

to be happy about, you can just take a moment and

just be grateful for anything. Because

once we start to get the wheels in motion and

actually start to bring more the

positive things and more gratitude and you can even

be happy for the trees and life that provide oxygen

for us to keep going. I

know that it's not always easy to say just be happy

but if you try and practice I can

guarantee and I can promise you that the

happiness is just around the corner. And I know

that it's not always easy to wake up with a smile on

your face, but if you just try, just

try to find a couple of things that

you can be thankful for, that you can be grateful for, that

you can slowly start to work for. You

can just say, I am happy. Even if

you don't feel it, I am happy. Because

the more we put out, the more that we will get back in

return. It's a couple of simple words. Even

if you're not feeling it, repeat it. I am happy. I

am happy. I am happy. and

you will maybe give yourself a little smile because I am

happy for you. So if you want to start a journey to happiness, I

can help you. You can find me on my socials. There's

one-on-one coaching, group coaching, or even if you just want to have
