Happiness & The Outcome of Life

lies in our personal self reflection, awareness, and course of action.

Mission Possible: Take a minute to step back from your life, examine it and ask yourself some questions. Do you know who you are? The individual God made speciafically and designed with a predetermined purpose? Do you have any idea who that person is? Or have you been caught in the speed of life and taken without even realizing there’s time to figure that out.

Yes. No. Maybe.

There are certain questions where the answers can only be found in you. Where the belief originated that another being could determine the source of another’s happiness is beyond me.

That may be why too many people are unhappy on the paths they’ve taken. They were told to take one path to a different destination and missed the beautiful views on the scenic route to their own destination.

Being happy, truly happy, is as simple as listening to your heart. Lose the notion that it has to be so complex. It’s your own thoughts, your own feelings, your own constant heart beat. And it contains the answers. Maybe answers to particular questions won’t come right away. But one day soon, it will be clear as crystal to you. It is through experiences and mistakes, and truth and goodness that we learn and discover.

The person you want to be and what you want to make of your life depends on you. Pursue your passions, try new things, love and give when you receive, and above all, know what you believe in and what is important and vital on your own journey.

Don’t be afraid to stray from “The Norm”. Don’t be afraid to take chances and risks. Don’t be afraid to be laughed at or told it can’t be. It most certainly can. And it becomes even easier as you go along when you let the nay-sayers go in one ear and out the other.

Life is not perfect. (Duh.) There are hard times and sad times. But how you let setbacks affect you is in your hands. But life is far too short not to love everyday. We are wired differently for a reason, to fulfill a specific purpose that is instilled in us from before birth. When you listen to your heart, you’re not creating your purpose, you’re finding what’s been there inside you all along. And in the end, the only person who will be upset for not listening and following the calling, is you.

No day is promised to anyone, so why spend any minute of your own time being unhappy. You decide, because only you know the answer. Are you where you really want to be? If so, the better. If not, B R E A K  F R E E !

As much as I want to change the world and imagine a peaceful, judgement free world of people who love to spend time in the experiences of unconditional love and the natural world… there are too many negative forces that would keep that from happening (at least any time soon). But we can change ourselves, and that’s a start. 

¡Pura Vida!
