Congrats to @claire_frimming for winning. She asked instead of a gift card I double the donation to help with koalas injured in Australia’s wildfires. So a $200 donation has been made to WWF Australia. See the latest giveaways here.
I intend to find happiness within myself
Over the years, I’ve searched for happiness in all different forms. Sometimes it was in a partner. Other times it was in work. Overall, the theme for my search for happiness was validation from others. But they say you can never be happy unless you’re truly happy with yourself. As I sat down to write my intentions for the year, I thought about happiness as a whole. While I’ve been on the right path to finding happiness within myself, I certainly have a lot more searching to do.
“It is difficult to find happiness within oneself,
but it is impossible to find it anywhere else.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer
In the majority of these posts, where I’ve been sharing my 2020 intentions, I’ve also been sharing tips that have helped me. To be honest, I don’t really have a tip for finding inner happiness. It’s been one of the hardest practices for me. So when I’m not sure, I look towards others, and what they have to say on the subject. These quotes really spoke to me, so I wanted to share in case this is a topic you struggle with as well…
“If you’re searching for that one person who will change your life,
take a look in the mirror.”
“Be content with what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
When you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.”
– Lao Tzu
“Respect yourself enough to say,
‘I deserve inner peace,’
and walk away from people and things that prevent you from attaining it.”
–Jerico Silvers
In my search for happiness from within, at least I know certain things that make me happy: my family, my friend, my dog and fashion! It was hard not to smile as I slipped into this polka dot dress. So maybe on days where I’m having trouble finding inner happiness, I’ll slip into something fun and festive and start with happiness from the outside in.
Love that Lao Tzu quote!!!
I would love to just keep seeing all the great positive posts! Always so motivating…

Love today’s post. Reminds me of retro style of the 50’s. Fun and fancy free. I love to see more laid back style, very easy going. Thank you
@zeulou6804
Love this pic!! I like your outfit videos to wear multiple ways and maybe some recipes? @cara6151
Beautiful dress! I love reading reviews of beauty products, hair, skin care and makeup. There are so many of them out there it can get overwhelming. Are the more expensive products worth the extra cost? IG susancarylsmith
Such a good quote about being content. This dress is amazing, probably my favourite so far.
I’d love to see some good, comfortable but still amazing shoe recommendations.
@nicolthe_pickle
Oh Sydne, style and fashion come so effortlessly to you – it is so amazing to watch! I simply cannot get enough. First off, I love all these quotes as they sing directly to very soul! I recently read that ‘the right people bring your soul medicine’ and that is exactly what you do to me! You are so inventive and innovative – sparkling my creativity in fashion and subsequently invigorating a ‘bright, new way of being for me’, for which I am immensely grateful! I truly enjoy your IGTV videos on how to style fashion staples in different ways. Please continue leaving your mark!
Blessings and love,
Judy from callherjudy ig.

I agree with Claire, would love to see a closet clean out. Maybe video for YouTube channel? My closets are packed… I am the WORST at getting rid of clothes & accessories. IG: @shelleytibbetts
You have such an incredible sense of style that is inspiring! I would love to see more styling tips and suggestions for those of us that do not have your sense of style, but a desire to have more style in our lives!
Finding happiness from within will not save me. I realized that this is yet another illusion. I don’t want to stay alone for eternity. I want to find a man.
You don’t have to be alone to be happy from within. Maybe you will stop confusing these two things. Besides, I found an article here https://www.apppicker.com/developernews/36445/3-Dating-Apps-that-Make-the-Whole-World-Go-Crazy that tells us about the most progressive dating apps that will help you to find someone.
