State of Mind

It's only natural for any of us to feel important in some way, we need it to move forward and feel good about ourselves in everyday life. A feeling of importance can be anything from being important to people, being loved by many or simply being good at something.

I find myself wondering from time to time, if I am where I should be... truly happy? I believe that looking up, not caring about the bad, staying positive and persevering through everything life throws at us, is the best way to live. Although I still feel this is true, we should definitely not let this be at the cost of who we are. Having a great state of mind should walk hand in hand with who you are.

In some dire cases, people will need to force themselves to act happy. In the beginning, it will feel fake, annoying and silly. Here you might want to skrew the act and go back to being a sad sucker, although I will gladly smack you in the face if so. If you want change, you better have the balls to put in the effort. Anything worthwhile requires effort and Happiness is not an exception.

"Whaaaat???? You mean the World doesn't owe me happiness?" /facepalm.

Now, we have to ask... how do we balance a great state of mind along with being truly happy and sincere to our feelings? How do we obtain a sound state of mind, shut out and fight off these bullshit feelings of inadequacy? ... Goals.

Don't bullshit me by saying you have no dreams and 'going with the flow is the way to go' - get off the crackpipe Jack, you're lying to yourself. Focus on your goals and make a sincere effort towards achieving them. Look to yourself and not onto others as a judge of whom and where you should be. Waiting around will only make you weaker; instead, grow and be ready for the world to take you upon a journey of a lifetime.

Follow your heart, focus on your goals. Trying is free and perseverance a necessity.
