What defines happiness?

By definition; Happiness is a mental state of well-being characterized by positive emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

Each day as human beings we wake up and try to fulfill our true happiness or 

at least that is my goal. The saying "we never know whats missing until it 

arrives" is very true. I have been through quite a few friendships, 

relationships and things in my life that the only thing i want to remember 

them for is the fact that its over, i survived it and i learned something from it.

As long as i wake up each day and give everyone 100% or more of me and my 

time i will regret nothing in this life. I was put on this earth by God, who 

created me. He crafted me in a way sometimes i wonder, why me. Only because

some of the things he has given me to handle have been tough. He also blessed 

me with this huge heart who gets me in trouble more than i think it gets me 

anywhere. But i know that sometime, it will in fact show me why the heck i 

have it. I really believe i have a compassion for people. I love people and if i am 

putting a smile on their face, no matter what I am going through it is still 

worth it. I have been told "you are too good" well yes, i do believe sometimes 

this may be true. Its my nature. its the way god made me and i cant help but 

continue to do things that make other people happy even if sometimes that 

includes forgetting about making myself happy.  I can be selfish, insecure, 

untrusting, mad, happy, jealous, loving, caring, compassionate, i can even be 

indifferent, but those are all feelings and things that make me up. I just want 

to find my true happiness, although i believe i have found it and its just taking 

a bit of roller coaster ride for the time being. I think that is gods way of 

testing me to see how i will handle the situation; his way or that little red 

man downstairs. I choose to be bigger and to give it all i have until he shows 

me something different. Most of the time i spend in a day is thinking, 

wondering and being skeptical of every situation that i face. I never know 

where its going, and as much as i just wish i knew gods plan for me i don't. I 

hate wondering whats next. I guess im kinda compulsive that way. That i feel 

like i need to be in control of all things in my life when really its not my 

choice. my book has already been written. So my new goal is to walk with 

grace, dignity, beauty, and try everyday to remember i am living my life for 

him and he will show me the next step. it may not be in my timing or even in 

anyone else's but in his. I will love the people he has put into my life and give 

them my best or better until he shows me that its time for them to move on.

All i ask of everyone in return is that you also give me your best, and you 

remember that the people you love and care about can be taken at any time. 

So make sure that you let them know each day how important they are and 

thank God for putting these people in your life because he can take them away.

until next time...just something to think about.
