To help us talk more about happiness, I have a song for this weekend by the band NEEDTOBREATHE called "Happiness". I love the deep voice of the vocalist, and the beat and melody of this song are catchy and upbeat. Lastly, the lyrics talk about following your dreams, in order to pursue your happiness. Is that the ultimate answer?
I think that it is partly the answer to achieving our happiness (following your dreams). The other part that helps us reach our "happiness" is the "working all night" on creating an identity for ourselves, and knowing that "sometimes it's hard" but you still "carry on". In other words, resilience: never giving up.
It is not the end the result that leaves us satisfied. It is our work, our sweat, and our growth through the years that we admire the most. It is the dirty work that makes us satisfied. Don't be afraid of the dirty work. Don't be afraid to try. Pursue your happiness today whatever that might entitle, always remembering to maintain a respect for yourself and others.
Remember, it all starts with a plan. Plan and execute. Plan, execute, fail, and try again. Always keep going! I hope you have a great weekend, and feel free to tell me what you think!
Be strong, be unique, and step out of your comfort zone!
