friends help: the pursuit of Happiness, I know that for some this might mean nothing but for some, this might just be what you need at this stage in your life… - Help.com

the pursuit of Happiness, I know that for some this might mean nothing but for some, this might just be what you need at this stage in your life…

the pursuit of Happiness, probably the one thing everyone on earth’s after, there happiness, what that might be to each of us will surely differ, to some it might mean having money or to some it would be as simple as a smile from a stranger to make you not feel so worthless. What ever you’re after in this life makes sure that you don’t allow anybody to step on or over you, reach for your dreams and go for your goals.

In the United States Declaration of Independence is written “…the pursuit of Happiness” I suppose that’s true, for its not something that you just find, you have to pursue it, want it, dare to take it. No one said that it would be easy, or fun for that matter… With saying the pursuit of Happiness it may seem to some that it’s a pursuit of some thing that you will never find…

What ever your dreams, what ever your goals, if you do not stand up and act towards getting it you will never find it, you will never be truly happy. It is a true pursuit.

How ever long it may take, for some they may find it in a instant, for other they may not find it in there whole life. You enter this life the same way you will go out, alone. There are people that will help you on your way, but it’s up to you where you will go.

Yes, some might say that from a religious point of view that the pursuit of Happiness would be the be close to your creator, what ever you believe in. that there’s more after life and that’s the place that you would find your happiness, find the thing that completes you…

the pursuit of Happiness means not giving up, always trying and when knocked down, having the guts to stand up and try again. Like when your heart gets broken, having the guts, to pick yourself up and to go out and allowing yourself to open up to another. The main thing is that you pursue your own happiness and not follow some one else’s dreams.

the pursuit of Happiness, I suppose that’s what it is, the pursuit of Happiness, as for myself, happiness, my happiness my friends and my family support my life. I honestly don’t know what would make me 100% happy, and honestly don’t think you could be 100%, but rather you can be content with your life, and as for my life I am a far way from there, I have stumbled more than I care to say, but I’m picking myself up, everyday a little more, bit by bit.

And I suppose that’s what this post is about, believing in yourself, trusting and caring enough about yourself to not let you not throw your life away, letting you acknowledge your faults and working on that to make a better life for yourself, allowing yourself to be happy and not let you hold yourself back…

So my last words for this post…

Don’t hold yourself back, take a chance, make a change, believe in yourself… trust yourself to be happy…

Happiness.

It’s everywhere, it’s in my heart, it’s in the flowers, in the birds that I feed and see every day, in children playing and skipping, in lovers walking hand in hand, in every smile and laugh. I could go on and on but I wont.

Your post certainly got me thinking, thankyou for letting realize all that happiness.

i am working hard at it, but also not searching constantly for it, for sometimes you find the things you need without looking for them, as if they will find you when the time is right..

One way or another you are going to find it. Patient or not, you might have it in front of you right now without realising it’s there. You might have to wait for a long time, patience is something I had to learn to have. It didn’t come easy.

I think you are stronger than you may think. If you are trying then you have half won the battle. Not giving up is the second part.
