Happiness.
I’m going to start this blog off with talking about happiness.
Many people, well actually most people spend their lives in search of it, the sad reality however is that the destination of happiness is clouded and lost in all the confusion that is life.
I struggle with what happiness means to me, and a lot of people are like me in the fact that they have a hard time defining the word “happiness.” To everyone it means something different; to one person it could mean being rather wealthy while to someone else happiness could be defined by the company of good friends and loved ones.
The reason so many of us get lost along our journey of finding our own version of happy is because we let the opinions of other cloud our own judgements, try to silence what our hearts know to be our true desires.
I am here to tell you one thing; and if this is the only one thing you take away from my whole entire blog I will be content. Stop letting others control your happiness, stop letting them push you down a path you know isn’t what you want for yourself. We are the only ones that can decide where our happiness comes from and if you live your life letting other people control that then you will never be happy, you will be upset and it will just end up making you feel more lost.
For many years I let people in my life try and tell me what was right for me or what path I should go down and which one I should stay off of. At the end of the day I had to look at my life as a whole and ask myself; was I happy? No I wasn’t, in fact i was miserable - in order for me to fix this problem, I had to take a step back; drown out everyone else’s opinions and look into myself for the answer I was looking for. I knew the answer was there all along, I just needed to stop and really listen to what my heart was telling me to do, what path my heart was telling me to go on, because believe me; if you stop letting your head fill you with doubt and start listening to what your heart is saying, you will find happiness and you will be going after the life you always wanted. Listening to your heart helps you to find the path you were meant to go on. Following your heart is, and will always be the ultimate key to complete happiness.
