Happiness isn't getting what you want, but wanting what you have...

The title is a quote one of my best friends gave me in a book for my Birthday.

Happiness

I think human beings are so odd sometimes. And I am guilty of this too!
You live, breathe and sleep for the moments of true happiness, and when there finally here instead of enjoying it you worry about when its going to end.

The higher you climb the harder you fall
Karma
Too good to be true
Fate
- Just some of the excuses we have in our world to explain things that happen. I'm a strong believer in Karma and Fate, but not the extent you can blame it when something goes wrong. At what point in your life should you STOP working hard and say "Its ok, if its meant to be.... it will be" Because that's irresponsible. If its meant to be it WILL be, but for it to be you've got to put the work into it. You know?

I wish people lived in the moment more. Because then you could enjoy the moments of true happiness instead of always looking for a reason for it to end. But living in the moment doesn't stopping your life, stopping looking towards the future and stopping what your working towards.

If you look for something, your more likely to find it...
