Who do you want to be? Count out the values, characteristics and pieces of a hero that you would call perfect. Then divide them by you and see where you quotient. So quickly will we be dismissed by loud notions of importance that are truly the popular, loud ass kids in high school who need attention to fill their lack of worth and in the attention they garden only do they show worth. Living lives through expectations we didn’t even write ourselves is an honest sin against our honest selves.
The normal first ideas which come to mind as to what a person wants are money, shelter, safety… and of course those shouldn’t be forgotten or made third rate. Most important in life though is still meaning and the passion we allow ourselves to feel for it. What I first suggest is allowing yourself to feel passion, strong, vibrant and seething passion. Imagine the person who could fix all your issues, come on top of your problems. Create the fellow or lady that will impress you and inspire you. Make them up so they now exist as at least some impulses in your head. Then let the start of your day be the sewing of their shadow onto your toes.
One will never be happy unless they figure out what makes them happy and they pursue it. Random acts are nice things but staying within the lines and working hard will not be real to any individual. That is mainstream, mass made, and uniform appeal that works in majority because the majority is convinced it does. Herd behavior leads not to freedom, friends. Take time to come up how you want to feel, who, where and what you want to be and be around. Then keep allowing yourself to be happy, to seek that which truly matters to you rather than what you are told makes you good or will make you happy. Only you know you.
