BE HAPPY

WELL ON A LIGHTER NOTE COMPARED TO LAST WEEKS POST... LETS TALK ABOUT SOMETHING HAPPIER. TWO SIMPLE WORDS THAT ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FOLLOW:

BE HAPPY

WHY IS IT SO HARD? WELL WE ALL KNOW WHY... THERE IS JUST TOO MANY THINGS IN THE WORLD TO PISS US OFF!!! DAM BUG FLYING AROUND YOUR FACE, STUPID DRIVERS ON THE ROAD, YOUR SPORTS TEAM LOSING, CUSTOMERS ARE RUDE TO YOU, SOMETHING DIDNT WORK OUT, WORK RELATED ISSUES, FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND EVEN THE THINGS YOU DO TO YOURSELF. THERE IS JUST TOO MUCH TO BE PISSED ABOUT. SO HOW CANNNN YOU BE HAPPY??? THINK HAPPY THOUGHTS? TAKE A BREATH? I SAY DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO, TO BE HAPPY. DO WHAT YOU NEED TO, TO GET TO WHERE YOU NEED TO GO, OR TO THE RIGHT STATE OF MIND. ITS ALL ABOUT YOUR STATE OF MIND. IF YOU CAN BE HAPPY THROUGH TOUGH TIMES THEN NOTHING CAN PHASE YOU.

IVE ACTUALLY BEEN HAVING A GREAT TIME LATELY. SOMETIMES I JUST WAKE UP AND HAVE A GOOD DAY, FEELING GOOD ABOUT LIFE AND EVERYTHING. THEN... GETS RUINED OR I GET CAUGHT UP WITH EVERYTHING THATS GOING ON... AND THAT JUST RUINS MY MOOD, AND BACK TO SQUARE 1...  THEN AGAIN THERE ARE THOSE MOMENTS THAT I JUST LOOK UP TO THEY SKY AND REALIZE HOW GOOD THINGS ARE RIGHT NOW. WHEN LISTENING TO MUSIC AND KNOWING THAT EVERYTHING WILL WORK OUT OR WORK ITSELF OUT. JUST THOSE SMALL LITTLE MOMENTS WHEN EVERYTHING COMES TOGETHER AND YOU ARE A HAPPY ABOUT EVERYTHING. THATS WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN LIFE.

AWWW YEAH!!! LOL STARTED TO BEFORE I TOOK A PIC. BEEF SASHIMI!!! SABA, SALMON, MISO AND OTHERS THAT WE JUST DEVOURED

AWESOME LEFTOVERS LOL

WE WIN GOLD... AGAIN... BIG SURPRISE EH? LOL

JUST FOLLOW YOUR NOSE HAHA

HOME COOKED MEAL :) LASAGNA, SCALLOPS, PEAS, ROAST BEEF 

MY PLATE... X2 :) WOOOOOO

SO MUCH FOOD THAT I HAD LEFTOVERS FOR WORK :) AND DIDNT HAVE ENOUGH CHEESE SO PUT SOME CHEESE STRING ON IT HAHA

YES YES YESSSSSSS SNOW!!!!!!!!!!! :)

SO THIS WAS A SHORTER POST... THERES LOTS TO SAY ABOUT IT AND A LOT OF IT HAS ALREADY BEEN SAID BEFORE IN THE PREVIOUS POSTS. ALSO THE FACT THAT IM PASSING OUT TRYING TO POST THIS, SO WE SHALL SEE... PERHAPS IL POST THIS IN THE MORNING AFTER I TAKE A LOOK AT IT AGAIN.

---------- AFTERNOON ----------

OH WOW... I ACTUALLY MADE SENSE WRITING THAT... YA... I WAS PASSING OUT AND FOR A WHILE I ACTUALLY FELL ASLEEP WRITING THAT AT 3AM... BRAIN WAS NOT WORKING AFTER WORKING A 12 HOUR SHIFT... BUT ANYWAYS... BACK ON TOPIC. SO WHATS GOING TO MAKE ME HAPPY? HARD TO SAY... CAREER? MONEY? LIFE? TOYS? PEOPLE? UNFORTUNATELY RIGHT NOW MONEY IS A BIG FACTOR... IN ORDER FOR ME TO BE HAPPY I NEED MONEY TO DO THIS, MONEY TO DO THAT, MONEY TO BUY THIS, MONEY TO BUY THAT, MONEY TO GO HERE, MONEY TO GO THERE. IN THE END SOMEHOW IT ALWAYS COMES BACK TO MONEY. PROBLEM IS WITH THIS CAPITALISTIC-MATERIALISTIC SOCIETY IT CANT BE HELPED. WE ARE BOMBARDED WITH IMAGES OF WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE OR BE, THAT IT JUST DESTROYS US TRYING TO GET THERE. YOU ALMOST HAVE TO GIVE UP A PART OF YOURSELF TO GET WHAT YOU WANT. ITS ALWAYS LIKE CHOOSE 2 OUT OF 3 SITUATIONS WHERE THE ONES YOU PICK ARE AWESOME BUT THE 3RD CHOICE IS THE ONE THAT IMPACTS YOU AND IS THE ONE YOU LOSE OUT ON.

HERES THE EASIEST EXAMPLE: PICK 2 OUT OF THE 3

1. SLEEP
2. SOCIAL LIFE
3. SMART (DOING WELL IN SCHOOL)

YES YES I KNOW WHAT MOST OF YOU WILL SAY... THAT ITS NOT THAT HARD TO BALANCE THEM OUT AND THEN BAM!!! THERE YOU GO YOUR SMART WITH A SOCIAL LIFE AND GET ENOUGH SLEEP. JUST FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE YOU CAN ONLY PICK 2... THAT LEAVES YOU WITH EITHER NOT ENOUGH SLEEP, NO SOCIAL LIFE, OR NOT DOING WELL IN SCHOOL. ITS ALWAYS A TRADE-OFF, ALWAYS WILL BE. SO WHAT CAN YOU DO...??? THE ONLY THING YOU CANNNNNN DO... DO WHATS RIGHT FOR YOU IN THAT MOMENT IN TIME TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. EVERYTHING CAN BE CHANGED, JUST A MATTER OF HOW YOU APPROACH IT.

TRUE HAPPINESS IS A HARD THING TO ATTAIN, HELL... EVEN BEING HAPPY IS A HARD THING TO ATTAIN, BUT IN THE END IF YOU ARENT HAPPY FOR YOURSELF WHO WILL??? END OF THE DAY IT STILL COMES BACK DOWN TO YOU AND HOW YOU FEEL. SO BE HAPPY, AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
