| Do unto
others. Not just words. Not
just a "slogan". Its a way of life. Just as "Don't worry, be
happy" is more than just a song or a bumper sticker.
Who are you? Who do you want to be?
What is your potential?
Happiness comes from within. From your
own mind, you find peace, contentment, confidence, compassion.
Insert whatever positive adjective you wish. Despite what you think
you know, you probably don't. You must unlearn in order to grow.
Forget what your public education taught you. *YOU* are in control.
Only you can make you happy. You must also admit personal
responsibility. And along with that, you must admit you *cannot*
control everything. You must seek out a Higher Power and be humble
enough to bend to Its will.
What is the Higher Power? Well, no one
can tell you that. This is something you must find from within
yourself. Maybe it is God. Maybe it is you family. Maybe
its the sun. I don't know. But once you find it, you'll
understand.
You think yourself unhappy. You can
unthink it. This forum is for those who want to talk about it.
I have survived bouts with deep depression and
alcoholism. I have survived a rotten childhood. I could easily
be dead or sleeping under a bridge in an alcoholic haze. I am not.
I chose life. And I chose to make it a happy life. Even if
current events around me try to flush me down the toilet of life. I
rise above and say, "No, its not going to happen today." I smile and
move forward.
And the worst-kept secret of life
is....anyone can do it. You just have to be ready to accept it.
Let's talk about it. |
