Happiness

The pursuit of happiness. Something that is sometimes lost and forgotten. We continue to live without seeking our happiness. Instead we go and do things and jobs that may not be what we'd like but what we have to do. We don't do as much as we can for our body and health.

Wealth and health are two big aspects that can correlate to happiness. Some people may find happiness in their life through being 'filthy rich' while others are their happiest in knowing that they're healthy and may live to see another day.

Why do some people find happiness in money when there is a very popular saying that states the opposite? Perhaps its because the money provides a safety blanket. It reassures them. Money whispers to them at night  and makes all these types of promises.

Health offers them a chance to live again. Health promises that things will be better again. Health makes sure that they're well enough to carry on.

People think they need wealth in order to be happy, but what if we all suddenly realized that it should be a part of our lives, but it should not be our whole world? What would people do when it comes to seeking happiness?

What do we all seek in life?

Financial stability. Health. True love. Friends. Family. A home. Education and knowledge. Chasing our dreams. It seems like people stop chasing their dreams and stop pursuing happiness when life hits them. There are things that make us face reality. But why should we give up on being happy? Why can't we do what we must and what we want? We should find a way to accomplish this.

I think if we started off small it'd help. Why can't we find the beauty and happiness in the small things? The sun is out and hits our faces as we wake up. Let's be thankful. We get to go to school and see our friends let's make the best of it no matter what kind of day it turns out to be. We see the trees blooming around campus or our neighbor, stop for a little, take in the natural beauty. We get to see our family one day more, let's enjoy them because we all leave this earth eventually. So why not leave with a bang and knowing that we accomplished our dreams, that we lived and not only that but we lived a happy life. Why not? Why not leave this world in knowing that we made sure our loved ones knew exactly how we felt about them? Why not spreading a little light while we still can in hopes that one day our world will be brighter? And when we leave, we will have spread some happiness that will be spread among others who in turn can continue to inspire and spread it as well.
