So our brains are hardwired to remember pain more than pleasure. We will always remember the things that anger and hurt us more than the things that make us happy and smile. We are just hardwired that way...stupid brain and it's limbic system functioning...
Can you see what this has done to our minds and in turn society? We are all freakin' depressant roosters! I don't know why I said rooster..
anyways...we are dependent on our feelings of sadness..on our feelings of lost puppies...on being the last button on a fat man's shirt screaming and holding on for just a second more... Think about it...how many of you out there say something along the lines of:
"when I get my degree then my life will start..."
"all I have to do is get that new job and everything will be better..."
"I will be happy when I find my perfect partner..."
"if they just goes out with me then..."
"I just have to hold out until ....then all will be okay..."
the problem? when you get those things...you find that you say the exact same thing about the next thing!!!
You have to learn how to find your joy now...find your, as my friend John would say, "find your bright spot"
In order to be happy...find your happy. It could be something like singing in the shower, playing with your dog, eating a lollipop, digging into the cracker jack box to find a fake tattoo of a skull and cross bone that your friends then put on your forehead when you're drunk that one night....
what I'm saying is that you must LIVE in your moment of happiness throughout your day. It's a muscle! happiness like many other things is a psychic muscle...you have to use it...you have to work it out...stretch it like silly putty, do push ups on it, do squats and lunges on the bastard...find your daily *thing that makes you smile and open it up...make it breath and you'll find that you'll end up having more and more of those moments throughout your day and life....or use crack. kidding.
You must find things that make you smile...don't lie to yourself.
Lies are unfulfilled wishes....
You have to be willing to find what makes you smile daily and live in those moments...search for them...not a fake smile...not a moment that you have to force it...but things that brighten your day.
The more you do it...the happier you will be. Remember this as well...
beating the odds requires tolerating uncertainty.
The world is sad...the odds are against you...but you can be different...you can be happy!!! Live your day open and be willing to accept where you are and how things are...when you can do that...you are then open to where you will go and how new things will unfold. Find your smile today folks...find your smile.
