Your Road To Happiness

It seems that every individual has a year that changes their lives. This doesn’t mean it will be one year in your lifetime, but a few years that can be jumbled all together or spread out. I call this year, the age of finding your happiness.
You can look around & see everyone happy. Happy with going out & partying, happy with new clothes & cars. Satisfied by materialistic items, conforming to what society has made them believe makes them unique. Ironically fitting everyone in a category of overpriced cotton shirts & temporary satisfaction of themselves.

Press pause, freeze frame & step out of the box for just a moment; what do you see? Where are the tangible memories that create the better tomorrow. Where do you find the “happiness”. Are any of us truly happy? Looking at this picture that becomes a meaningless moment in your life, you contemplate where you could have done better. Speculating the steps that could have taken the “right” path (Is there a right path).

As you tell yourself “you have time, take a breath, you can be better, be stronger”, you are simultaneously battling the subconscious “why are you failure, you suck, stop trying, you will never be enough.”

Moments in life change us, destroy us & grow us. From the ashes the Phoenix reborn with new purpose. Friends grow apart, you meet new people, mistakes are made, people get sick, some pass away. These things do not define you, however, how you handle them & continue growing as a person does. Overcoming what can feel as an emotional prison within your own head & finally seeing the path to your own road to happiness…
