The pursuit of happiness

What is happiness?

It's so relative right? There isn't a "one fits all approach" to being happy. That's the beauty of it. Happiness can be as simple as enjoying a rich cup of coffee in the morning... or like watching the bright orange sunset. Other times, happiness may be a little bit more complicated than that. Achieving happiness may require strength.... it may require going trough countless struggles... it may even require for you to be fearless.

Why is sometimes so difficult for us to choose the path to find our own happiness?  Don't we all deserve that? Of course. But not everyone is prepared to recognize the need to search for that path. It may be because of social pressures or because we've been stuck for so long inside a specific mold, that breaking away from it causes us doubt.

Life is way too short for doubts. If we were to live our lives just to please others, it would really be pointless. We are only in this physical world for a finite amount of time, so it's only fair to fight for what truly makes us happy. For some people it may be money or material things. I don't gravitate so much towards that end. Yes, money is important... but what about the intangible side of things? That happiness that no amount of money could buy. A happiness that comes truly and only from within. One that is not placed on material objects but on experiences.... a happiness so pure that it can't be taken away from you... a happiness so deep you can express without hesitation. A happiness so true to yourself, that you have no doubt in chasing after...

That's the happiness I strive for and hope to achieve one day... one day...
