Did I just give away that Santa isn’t real? I’m not saying this to be a downer. In fact if you still want to try and always be happy then don’t let me keep you from your Prozac. What I’m saying is that life is a ride. The faster you embrace this and enjoy the ride, the more fun you’ll have. We Can’t control some of the experiences we’ll have. The only things you can bank on are death and taxes right? Well who would call either of those things pleasurable? While we can't control the experiences, we can control how we look at them. Every experience serves to make us the unique being we are. Every experience contains equal pleasure and pain. Our emotions on an experience are based on a one sided perception. When times are tough only you can decide how you move forward as victim or victor. I can safely say that “some day you’ll look upon this and laugh” holds true on more than one occasion…
Chase happiness all you want. I know I do, but when times are tough i don't look at them from the "what did i do to deserve this" place. That's a victim mentality that's easy to fall into. It gathers support from others, give you more attention, makes you feel like you're "right" etc... There are plenty of benefits to being a victim! But, when you're ready to evolve paste this pattern and move forward from a place of wisdom, love and inspiration, then know that all you have to do is ask a new set of questions. How did this experience serve? Because even the things that don't feel so good are helping lead us back to love; and true love contains both pleasure and pain equally.
Enjoy the ride
