The problem with everyone's ideology on happiness is thinking that if you possess one thing, it's instantly going to make you happy. But we all seem to forget that happiness doesn't lie in having more money, a strong relationship or good grades. Happiness lies in being fulfilled in your life. It doesn't matter whether or not everything in your life is perfect or ideal, it's choosing whether or not you can be happy with what you have.
But at the same time, I feel like we don't put enough emphasis on what we do have. It's about appreciating everything that you have, but continuing to strive for something better.
Sometimes I forget to just look around and realize how fantastic everything is in my life. I wish I wouldn't.
