Hunting Happiness, Part 1

Thursday Thought
5/12/2016

We all want to be happy. It's a fact of life. In fact, life has little enjoyment unless you can be happy. I'm not going to tell you how to be happy. There is no one clear cut way to be happy. Everyone else's answers are square pegs to your round hole, and if it's forced in you're going to be unhappy.

My idea of happiness is a moving target. It's dynamic. Changing from day to day, week to week, and so forth. I would not want to maintain the same look on life throughout the whole life, because then it is boring and stale. I'm not the same person I was last year or the year before that or before that.

It's a voyage. There's this current beneath you what some may call destiny. Then there's the winds of work that by harnessing them allows you change your course of you deem it unfavorable. It's pretty freaking fantastic. The whole point of it is to go exploring. The experience is left untouched by staying safe at ashore. In fact, that's how you accept the defeat by not taking to the waves. 

What's beyond the horizon is what behold the beauty and joy of life. Why not go out and pursue it? Staying in the harbor only grows barnacles.
