What makes YOU Happy?
….Let me ask you something…..
“Are you happy right now?”
…Wait, let me rephrase it…
“Is this what makes you happy?”
Please don’t misunderstand me when I say “Most of us are working in a job not because we love it but because we have no choice.” There are other people as well working because of money, like it provides a bigger salary. They are just being reasonable to survive on a daily basis, not sure for future reference though. I’m not saying we should not be proud of what we have right now and about what we have reached. It’s just that, is there one time that you asked yourself. "Is this the kind of life I wanted?"
Let’s say, yeah, you have a wonderful job right now. You have a salary a couple times more than a regular salary. What if you are an actress or an actor, or maybe a social media influencer. Don't you get tired because of money, power and fame? I mean, is this the kind of life you really wish for? I know it’s not easy, it’s tiring even though you have tons of money almost everyday. But, it’s just but, have you thought about the kind of life you wanted to have in the future? Have you seen yourself like this type of lifestyle for many years to come?
…It’s okay not to answer a question you made on your own. It takes time to answer happenings, especially when a better life will be changed for an unsure life. It’s normal because you are just afraid that what you would choose will not turn out as you plan to be. Don’t rush, you need time of course….
“Is it okay for you to go to sleep exhausted and wake up with the same exhaustion? Still, you need to work and again, another whole day to work. When you go home, it’s always the same?”
…It’s not my business to interfere, sorry for talking about it. Well, you have your reasons and I have mine. Even though we chose a different life set up. I think it’s okay to reset if you think that will be for the best. But if you’re willing to do what it takes because of many responsibilities and priorities. I have too, our understandings in life might just differ.
Just in case you are afraid or whatsoever you are thinking. Don’t think it’s too late to reset or change your perspective in life. There is no early or late in choosing the kind of life that you think you can find your happiness, not just joy but happiness. Also, a risk is necessary because life will not feed you about what’s going to happen. That’s what makes life interesting and thrilling despite the fear of failing.
Well, if what you’ve been doing right now is what makes you happy even though it exhausts you almost everyday. Keep going. Make sure not to regret later when you are not able already. You don’t always have time to fix things in life. If you count it in your fingers, it seems longer but when you’re doing it and experiencing it, sadly it’s not.
….So, hmmm, What makes You Happy?
