Pretty Baby

I've realized that there is no ultimate goal of happiness. Happiness is not the goal we seek, but rather the process of seeking it. Life is something to be cherished, and valued. It should be valued even more by sharing it with someone dear. I've been very thankful to have such wonderful people in my life.

People think about their life...about where they are in their life, and get depressed. They think they will be happier once they have a better job, or a more stable living situation, or when their loved ones become more mature, or when they have more money, but this is not the case.

We make our lives. We make our moments. We choose how to spend our time and who with. What happens right now is what matters the most in life. Every choice, every decision has lead to this, has lead to now. We may not understand why things work out the way they do, or where they are going to lead. The trick is to accept this as a fact of life, and let it go.

If you're lucky enough to spend your time very limited time on this Earth with someone special, all the more power to you. Time waits for no one.

Happiness is not the outcome we're looking for, but rather the process of looking for it. As Ben Sweetland said, "Happiness is a journey, not a destination."
