Everyone wants to be happy, to some point, it is the upmost desirable thing in the whole duration of life, reaching a point of happiness which is everlasting. The thing is that happiness isn't something that can be obtained or gained through belongings, well not at least the ever lasting happiness which we will be talking about in this article. Let me share with you my perspective on happiness and give you a small insight.
What are you doing now?
I see so many people that are depressed, stressed or loaded with anxiety and honestly I wasn't much different a year ago. I remember having so much anxiety that my bed was the only thing I wanted to see and be in, although things changed when a decision on my end was made, I couldn't let anxiety and depression stay in my life as at the core there was a feeling that something was waiting for me, that something being a better future filled with joy and dreams.
A lot of people are struggling with depression and anxiety but the truth is that they are looking at the subject as if it was a way of life, depression and anxiety are moods that have a duration period, it's like a small fire burning from within that we have the choice to sustain or not. The more we say I'm depressed the worse it gets.
What does happiness mean to you?
The truth is that if we are unhappy we need to take things into our own hands, the more we rely on others to fix us the slower the transition period will be. If an apple is rotten from within and we don't want to eat it what do we do? Sit and hope for it to get better or throw it away? Or better yet why not turn that apple into juice, it will fit any shape and be fluent, also it will have a flavor which no other apple will, the flavor of experience!
After we make juice, then we can add sugar and make things even sweeter, but never before.
Happiness is all about how we look at the world and what we make of it. If something in life is making you feel bad then you better do something about it, because it's affecting you and nobody else, hence you are the one with the power of change things.
Find the things that spark happiness within you and work around them, see why they make you happy and once you find out which part of that given thing sparks something within you, seek for it in everything else that comes your way.
Let's say you are an Artist who loves painting and is extremely good at it, but for some reason, you end up repairing cars which makes you very depressed due to the lack of expression. Rather than being depressed, learn to paint cars, study how people do it and when you feel confident take the gun in your hands and do it, now you will be a painter and car specialist.
The roots
At its core happiness is the ability to express your self in different conditions, if we are deprived of expression we are deprived of our authentic selves. The things we love doing are the things we can really put effort into and in the future make a happy living out of. The road to a better life starts with YOU and YOUR decisions and ways of looking at the world.
Look at what you want to become and see how that can work with everything that comes your way. Don't let anybody else be the mediator of your life, because that wouldn't be you life at the end of the day. We all have the power to change the world, not any other world but our own worlds as we are all equal. Physical belongings don't have a say in our equality, they are just tools of expression which we pick up on the way of self improvement as gifts for our hard efforts.
