Happiness: My Ongoing Mission

Life is always hectic, and I’m consistently challenged. Being challenged isn’t a bad thing, but it can make life difficult. At times, finding the light in anything can be consuming of time I don’t readily have. But I’ve chosen to make it my mission to see the light in situations and to truly be happy.

“Why now?” people ask. The time is now because the time is always now. As a human race, we need to learn to live in the moment and not look forward to, or look behind at, anything readily. As I am writing this post, I am enjoying forming my sentences as the thoughts flow freely from my mind. This is the state I must be in for this happiness concept to work.

For a period of about six months, I would wonder why events seem happier in the past. This was my “observatory period”, until I realized that I was happiest when I wasn’t looking into the past; rather, I was living in the moment. That means that I need to do what I enjoy. In response to that, I’ve been live streaming more, spending more time with family, and attempting to be less critical.

Furthermore, what I’ve noticed may shock you. I’m actually happier that way, and I think most people would be too. That’s why I challenge you, my readers, to try to adopt the same changes in your life as I have in mine. Don’t think about weighing the changes because it’s obvious. Just do it.

After writing this post, I went through my other posts and took a look at what I’ve written, the connotation, tone, and general idea of them. What I’ve noticed really surprised me. Specifically, about 40% of my other posts were rants or accounts of my dissatisfaction. Something hadn’t been right.

Note: for these kinds of posts. I’ve made a separate category entitled “therapeutic ramblings”, in case this emotional writing strikes your fancy.
