I don't wish I could be different. I wish that the people who would like me to change would be different.

Haha..oh the grass is always greener. Maybe I would wish to be famous? Maybe Reese Witherspoon or the ultimate Christie Brinkley...beautiful, successful. Of course being beautiful and successful will bring happiness? Maybe those two are wondering where they went wrong. Maybe they didn't do anything wrong other than thinking happiness depends on some external value. I'm often not happy yet I have come to realize life isn't always about happiness. If only we could prove that there were people who did absolutely all the right things which made them very very happy. What smart people they would be, in total control of 'happiness'. What does 'being happy with your life' mean? Does it mean that if you had a different life you'd be more happy? What fallacy....
To the best of my knowledge, happiness comes in fleeting instances throughout our lifetime. It may depend on how well we manage our health: spiritual, physical. It may also depend on our perspectives, can we handle the fact that life means struggle and challenge in which no matter what we do, we will feel stressed within those struggles, not always sure of ourselves and our place, and not always happy? The more you try and perfect your ability to create happiness, the less you are able to feel 'happy'. Happiness is whimsy, it presents itself in random events. We are all alloted a certain amount of happiness in life, whether we are stricken with disease, mediocrity, or bouts of unhappiness. This is called being human. The more realistic you are about what life means the more you can savor your happy moments and realize the gifts we have been given in the face of so many challenges. Again, the most pressing challenge we face is judging our own ability to be happy by what others view as happiness. What a big mirage popular thought has created. Happiness comes from an acceptance within that life is hard, and that's to be expected. None of us has an easy life, it's very relative. Enjoy your moments as they may be few...or many. It depends on how you define happiness. Sometimes turtles make me happy, other times it might be a solar flare, or tickling...definitely tickling makes me happy.

I am very, very happy with my life, myself, my fiance, my relationships with my friends and family. So, why can't I be happy? If you think I'm not happy, then you don't know me at all, which you don't in fact know me. I used to be a quiet, shy, inverted person. I made myself change to the outgoing, louder, extroverted person I am today. And I DIDN'T need help from you!

I am happy about my life, but I am not happy with myself, wishing I had more self-discipline when it comes to weight-loss. I am also not happy with how I let other people get to me, but all in all, my life is good. I feel very blessed.
