Life, to me, is mind wrenching. Who ever said that to be happy you have to be climbing the ladder of success, to be rich, to be popular, or the life of the party???
To me, all of this makes no sense!
I have seen people who work in dead end jobs, and struggle to put food on the table.....and interestingly enough...they are happy.
And then there is the other end of the stick where these people that are climbing the ladder of success, have everything the world has to offer, and the life of the party.....and these people are the most miserable....
Now i know that there are always the few exceptions, but the majority are this way...
So if this is all true, then why in the hell is society pushing this way of life on us???
I am a living example of this. I am 17 years old, i live alone, i dont really have anyone, i have no money, and big dreams for myself. I struggle a little, but im happy. I have my memories and my experiences and dreams that hold me together.
Would life be easier for me if i had more money, or a family??? yes of course, but would i trade what happened??? no i wouldnt.
You may think that is crazy, but if everything happens for a reason, then i have to believe there is something better out there for me.
Now im not saying that people who are very successful and have everything arent happy, it all has to do with your heart attitude.
My challenge for all of you is to examine your life. What you have, what you dont have....and examine your heart and where it is.
Never take a single breath for granted, take what you have, and be happy with it. Take your moments, your experiences... and be thankful for everyone of them.
