Happiness in moments
If happy should be a destination, an aspiration, a goal, then what happens after and beyond happy? For something as fleeting, happy should only be enjoyed in moments; small and big ones alike. Like wind, moments sip through our hands. There is no constant grand pristine state of being or existence, unless you should be…

Appreciate what you do have here and now.
If you stop worrying about what you don’t have maybe you’ll appreciate what you do have. Many times in life we are stuck in the dark places of our lives; the dirt corners, the undesirable family history, the failed dreams and unrealized goals, the hidden scars (physical, spiritual and/or emotional), the missteps, lost or never…

Happiness is not a destination
It is really easier to live in anticipation of a future filled with happiness, a destination with no sorrow where there are no tears, no pain. It gives us hope to go through the crappy days. It gives us a reason to live through the day and keep breathing through the night. It is the…

Allow yourself to feel what you’re feeling.
Being human is not about feeling happy all the time. It’s about feeling everything. However you feel is the right way because there is no right way to feel; only a right way to respond, behave and carry yourself. Should you even feel a lot of things at the same time, it’s okay. I have…
