The greatest source of unhappiness (at least in this first world nation of ours) comes from our neurotic comparison to other people and the desire for approval; as if someone other than yourself holds the secret to your own happiness.
The one constant is that no matter how hard we may try, there will always be greater than and less than in this life. Validation as a human being comes from knowing exactly who you are, regardless of what people may think about you one way or another.
Put aside your masks, your fake smiles and imitations. Free yourself from Bullshit. It’s the only way to live happy. No amount of money will ever change this. Past the smoke and mirrors lies clarity for those who are capable of seeing the one elementary truth between chaos and order ——— that no one has the power to affect your mood without your permission.
As you journey on, be curious. Stand up straight. Take personal responsibility for every bad thing that might happen to you along the way and remember that the life you want requires real work. Get to it. Nobody is going to do it for you, but we're all here to help as best we can along the way. Pay forward your gratitude.
