Your Declaration of Self-Reliance.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
But happiness is not what we BELIEVE it is.
Why do so many search for happiness, and yearn for it. Why is it a happy thought can come and go, but a troublesome one assures us we are depressed. Why do we consistently attempt TO cover inner conflict with materialistic goals, achievements, or items. Why do we wish for a better life, but choose to LIVE the same one that makes us feel unhappy. Happiness is nothing to pursue. It is not an eternal feeling we should all experience. But neither is doubt, self-consciousness, depression, loneliness, sadness, or anxiety. Happiness is in you, around you, and is experienced when you find balance, and contentment. Happiness is unlocked when you move your focus from yourself, to giving everything you have to everyone around you. Happiness is A BEAUTIFUL gift that is unwrapped only with gratitude. Your life is filled with happiness and so are you, if you can focus on it, and believe in it.
If you want your life to change, you must change.
If you want your LIFE to get better, you have to get better first.
So do it, everyday.
