quest to happiness.

all this time, i walk the world unaware of what is happening around me except for you and for you alone. and now, as i start to live my life, i get blinded by the light of life that i have neglected a million times before because i was contented with my life back then and never wanted to go out of my comfort zones. and as i shield my eyes from this new phenomenon in my life i realize that i wanted to accept the light. the sun brings with it the flame of keeping our dreams alive. dreams which are really meant for us if we are strong enough to accept the challenge and fight for it.

but is it that easy?

no.

it will never be easy for everyone. people who fight for what they want tend to suffer more than those people who do not go out of their comfort zones. we never realize that the risks we ought to take are the ones who will teach us and guide us through our daily lives. through the next step of achieving happiness which everyone wishes for.

last monday, a professor said that the quest to happiness is through morality.

i say it's not.

the quest to happiness is through love.

i think, that the quest for happiness cannot be something that is governed by a set of rules to follow. there is no equation to happiness. and the only real thing which will help us through this quest is if we see God in our daily lives. appreciate the signs he gives us in order for us to be successful in our quest. we must always believe that God, which is our mother and father, will always want what is best for us. and God is love. therefore we need to see each blessing God gives us, allow ourselves to take risks and to find out how much more we can go. we must also allow love to consume our soul. even though we may look crazy, sound insane or be laughed at, we must still push through if we think it is what will make us happy.

this is my own definition of the quest to happiness.
