Only One Thing You Need to Know

You keep reading and trying and reading and searching and trying. You have so many goals and hopes and desires. It's overwhelming, you don't know what needs to be done first and when and how. There's just too much to know and do and have. The truth is...

That's all.

Everything else is a lie that you believe. It will take you no more than 5 minutes to realize it. Why do you want what you want? Isn't it to be happy? You think you need things, events, people to be happy when the truth is that happiness brings those things. Proof: sometimes you got what you wanted but how much did the "happiness" last? Now try to remember the good times. There were times when everything just worked for you, it clicked, it flowed, it was almost effortless. If you remember well enough, you'll see that those times have something in common: you were happy.

How about making this goal your top priority in life, forever: to be happy. It's enough to give you an interesting challenge for life. It will never get boring to be happy or to search for ways to be happy. It will never be the same.

Maybe you don't believe it now but it's still true: happiness brings everything else and everything else is just the cherry on the top. Once you have happiness, you have the cake. The cherry is welcome but it's just the cherry. It's not a big part of the picture, it's not totally unimportant either, but it's just the cherry.

Now I hope that the question on your mind is: how do I become happy? Otherwise you still believe some lie (it doesn't matter that much; I need money; I can't be happy in this situation; some things matter more). If that's the case... well, if you like it, keep doing it. Otherwise... give it the middle finger and leave it behind.

If you're already happy, leave a comment, share the wisdom :).

My best wish for you: be happy!
