Happiness
What is happiness? Is it a feeling? A thought? A memory? A wish? I think happiness may be something different to each person, but overall, it's the same for everyone.
To find happiness, I think you need to look within your soul and find out who is deep within your heart. You need to look past outside forces, beyond what everyone else thinks or feels, and decide what it is for you. You can't worry what other's will think. You can't fear the unknown. And you certainly can't deny yourself the chance or the opportunity to attain what you feel is most important.
But there are other things that you need to realize about happiness. Though times may be tough, and you may envy other people's lives, you must know that there are reasons for you to be happy with your current life. Think of the family and friends you have, some people aren't lucky enough to have either. Think of the job that you hold, though it may not be a dream job, again, you are lucky enough to have one. Think of your hobbies, your talents, and know you are special and gifted in the things that you do. Not everyone has the abilities you do, so be happy with yourself, because more people look up to you than you know of.
While talking to a friend the other night, one of the main inspirations for this blog, a comment was made that memories bring back pain. One of the hardest but most important things you need to remember about memories is that if it meant that much to you, it's remembered for a reason. If you remember a certain day that was absolutely incredible, but something "bad" happened later in life, that shouldn't affect how you felt about that one day. Cherish the happy and wonderful memories and don't dwell on the bad that had happened. It's a whole new day and "good" memories should most definitely over power the bad ones.
I don't know the exact thought(s) I was trying to convey, but I guess I'm just trying to make a point about happiness...we all know deep down what it is that makes us truly happy and content, and we just need to look hard enough and deep enough to see what it is. Don't fear your destiny, because it is in your hands, and no matter where it takes you, happiness is what you will get. As long as you follow your heart, happiness is what you will find.
