We go through so many emotions and happening in life, that sometimes we ask ourselves, how can I go through this? We've all experienced one of those seasons we simply didn't believe we could endure. I strongly believe that people can forget what I say, or forget what I did, but they will never forget how I made them feel. Is the purpose of life, to be happy or be fulfilled? That is the question, that can get a lot of people confused, and in trouble in finding happiness without being fulfilled in life! You see for me, happiness is an emotional state, my idea of a happy life is to build on something more, about a life lived in harmony with our own nature, including the acceptance of suffering and discomfort. But am I already content with what I have? No! Because I know that if I didn’t have any sort of desire for something more, then I would cease to feel content. For me, the cause of my happiness isn’t that I have enough, but it’s that I have learned and continue to fail to get to a point where I am happy with enough. My happiness isn’t a product of me getting what I want. It’s the byproduct of the different challenges I have proactively overcome to earn what I want and deliberate about living my values in a way I treat others. I’ve come to terms with the fact that comparing myself to others is a waste of time, and I don’t want to get stuck chasing un-reachable temptations for the rest of my life. I have my general ambitions, and there are things I want to accomplish. I work quite hard, and it’s not always fun. I always want to give my self-space and voice (through writing or speaking) to so many diversity dimensions, which makes me unique. My goal is to hard work hard, to the necessary steps to create and reach concrete, measurable goals that prove there is more that brings us together than divides us.
