Happiness

Can you honestly tell me you're happy?

I'm afraid too few will give a positive answer. Am I happy? ... :) sometimes...
This is at the root of our lives, as far as I'm concerned. Everything we do is motivated by this. Sure, a lot may take a wrong path towards this goal, but that's still their motivation.

I can not question one's perspective over the best way to approach happiness. If only to think about how different our definitions of happiness are, you get a pretty good idea about how different we're going to make it happen. What I want to uncover is if we really, truly, actually, effectively pursue our happiness!

Sure you might think it's a small obsession, but isn't this what matters above all? And because of circumstances, past negative experience and other people, we sometimes forget to ask ourselves: Is this what makes me happy?

I'm trying to find out what makes me tremble with excitement. I know love is a part...big part, right? because you have to love yourself, to love others, to love your life. Beauty is a part... beauty in art, beauty in people. Adventure is a part... new things to try, new people to meet, new dangers to face. And so many other things... helping somebody, having sex, doing something useful, a child, two children, seeing your parents proud, winning a game, dancing, talking with a friend, being in the same room with the one that you love, building something, changing your hobby into your "job". OOOh!

Do not loose your identity in today's social standards ! The things we do, the things we like....they can not be the same for all . Com on! Don't be afraid to be yourself, to do stuff which you enjoy. You'll be ashamed? Ok. Shame "is" more important than happiness, of course. But , still, give it a try. Allow yourself to express, accept your heart, your likes and your dislikes. And do what you must to be happy!

I am. Are you?
