Choosing Happiness

Everyone I know is looking for happiness, including myself.
But happiness is not a goal in life. It is a result of doing what you like and relating honestly to other people. It's about being able to be alone, not having someone at your side. Some people need to have someone at their side, to justify who they are. This is not happiness, cos when the person leaves, you will be all alone and not be able to find your place in the world.

Happiness is about being your own person, making your own decisions, doing what you want becos' you want to do it, and living your own life to please yourself.

When we go through a difficult phase in life, we often stop to think why this is happening to me? But then again, I think we all have the ability to get over just about everything. And if we intend to be happy during this lifetime, we are going to have to get over alot of things all the time.

We need to let go of our unrealistic expectations of what we think life should be like so that we don't judge others and find them lacking and ungiving.

To find happiness we need to be our own person, not a pretender!
