Are you chasing happiness?

Posted on by daPhNe

“Happiness is wanting what you have, not having what you want.”

At first glance this sounds like the same thing, take a closer look, it’s not.

If you’re completely fulfilled by spending time with your friends and family because you really want to be with them then you truly want what you have.

On the flip side, if you drive the nicest car and have a huge house, and have worked hard to get those things, then you’ve been successful at having what you want.

When you have what you want eventually the feeling of satisfaction wears off. Once you get what you want the old wants are replaced by new wants and the cycle continues. True happiness remains at bay.Look around you, happiness may be closer than you think. It may just be a matter of changing what you value.

i just have to have time to think about what it is that you like about myself. kinda hard tho, you see its not really easy to find goodness in your self if in so many times you feel like you are not that good enough. its like everytime you type in that things, you start doubting, and you start asking yourself like, am i really like that? really? yeah, i must admit, im not really convince in some part of my list...yeah im one of those people who have this self steem problem, but then, you know..this is me..if i dont like me, who else will do? those list are true for me, some is not yet that true, but thats how i see myself now or in the future. and i love it:) lessons and tips: be true to yourself...i mean, its you..and you dont have really to publish it to everyone for them to see. nobody can judge you...love yourself, com'on write it, tell yourself how much you appreciate it. of how much you value the good things about yourself...no judgments..just write what comes on your mind when you think the words "what i like about myself is..." what ive learn about this goal: to be real about myself, be appreciative..be loving to myself. be ME.
