Try doing a self-awareness search before reading on and try to figure out how you When you have gotten used to grief, returning to it often gives you a sense of relief. You may find yourself welcoming the gloomy embrace of its familiarity. Because if sadness is all you know, then maybe happiness is a stranger to you. Whenever elation strikes you simply because it's a feeling so alien, you may even experience a sense of unbelief. When happiness arrives, you might find yourself wondering,' is this for real? ’
You may have believed once that you could seek it and possess its lasting form, perhaps. But it still eludes you so far. Happiness may seem fleeting for many. If happiness was never your constant companion, then when it comes, you may not even acknowledge it. Yet others are consumed by the conviction that there is real and constant happiness. In desperate attempts to possess it, they frantically go about enjoying this or buying that. But what if you realize one day that happiness can not be constant or if it was never meant to exist for real joy?
The only certain thing is that the need to live drives human beings. That way, all life is programmed. Whether or not your survival brings any satisfaction with it is not part of life's equation. The decision to continue to live, however, can depend on whether you see happiness as your end goal.
Life can be exhausting. Maybe you can find yourself pretending you're all right. Perhaps you're doing it for the people who count on you. Or you put up a happy front because you do not want your melancholy to be observed by anyone. But doing so will further exhaust you. Emotional tiredness may set in. And it becomes more real the desire to surrender.
Sadness is a constant of life. You can't run from it. All you can do is hope that someday, happiness will come. And optimism is what keeps you alive even though you are crushed by life. Keep on to hope, for it is all that will remain when love dies and faith falters. And the power of hope brings with it the strength to survive, the courage to overcome, and the will to be victorious.
