That’s all I’ve ever wanted. To be happy. But it seems further out of my reach with every day I exist. I suppose everyone wants to be happy really…
It just seems like everything is so far out of my reach. This book I’ve been reading, prescribed by a friend that said it would help me, hasn’t been helping me at all to accept societies heinous actions.
My dreams get worse and worse by the day… it just seems like life is trying to break me again. Like its trying its hardest to drive me mad.

I think happiness is a bit of an illusion.
The more you try to get it the harder it seems to be.
We search and search for that perfect thing that will make up happy.
I’m not sure it exists.
I think the best thing to focus on is acceptance.
If you can train yourself to fully accept everything whether its good or bad, right or wrong, happy or sad, all the yins and yangs of the world then you will find life a lot easier to cope with.
I always remember this quote…..
A PROBLEM CEASES TO EXIST WHEN YOU FULLY ACCEPT IT FOR WHAT IT IS
Thats… actually very sound advice. I just wish I knew how to accept things so easily.
Yes its an easy philosophy to understand but not an easy one to put in to practice.
Ok another way to look at problems themselves is when faced with one ask yourself the question
is there anything I can do to either fix this or change this, perhaps you can, perhaps you can’t.
If you can – then do it. If you can’t that’s when you say ok this is something I cannot change so therefore the only solution left is to accept it.
I’m sure you have read this or seen or heard it before and if you are not religious just take the god bit out but this explains it all.
THE SERENITY PRAYER
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
and here’s the funny version…..
Lord, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage, to change the things I can, and
Wisdom to hide the bodies of those people
I had to kill because they pissed me off.
See there’s a little bit of happiness to make you laugh
