Seriously lately i've been having a lot of thoughts and questions, maybe it's part of growing up but dammit i dunno !
Have you ever wonder where will life takes you ? I mean where and when you will reach your goal and achieve your happiness. Seems pretty easy, some people would say I'll be happy when i graduate, I'll be happy when i'm married, etc .. or so I've been told.
My parents taught my whole life which indirectly creates a set of mind which goes like this ... if you can do this, you will be successful and happy. When i was little i thought that if i got good grades, then i'll be successful and happy .. turns out i didn't (dammit mom !), then i thought if i pass middle school i'll be successful and happy .. turns out i didn't either (dammit agaaain mom !), that pattern continues on and on right up until this point which i feel that if i get a job and a lot of money, then i'll be happy. I'm sure the answer will still be the same, but hey i'm not like super gloomy, emo or anything .. i can enjoy the little things and still laugh day by day .. just been having a lot questions about life .. you know ...
I'm just a kid relying on his hopes and dreams thinking that everything is going to be alright, it's not. Everything has it's ups and downs, reality sometimes sucks but if you don't live in a real world then your whole life is a lie. "Cue to pops up another question" ... Realistically in reality, when will a person be happy for real without losing the grasp of reality .. really (sneak in a little reality tongue twister right there). Well .. to answer that .. we gotta go back to my first question ...
Where will we find happiness ?
Where a strong heart and peaceful mind resides. Sometimes you need to look close to see and appreciate what you have. You should also look far and wide to sometimes get the bigger picture to see clearly and blow away clouds of doubt. May not realize it but we all have it, just need to find it cause i know i haven't .. question is ... where ?
When will it be found ?
When we're ready to let go, things and conditions .. everything's changing, sooner or later we have to accept change, question is .. when ?
Not trying to be philosophical or anything, but maybe .. just maybe the problem is in ourselves (and in this case, myself), it's all in your (my) mind and heart. Sure we can't change what is happening around thy self as that's just part of a bigger system running. I'm not saying change, but what we can improve is our mindset to see things clearer through a different spectrum, we just might find something awesome, somewhat new or maybe something that we all have been looking for
To be happy is not about what happens, but to accept what happens with a strong heart and peaceful mind
