Dont Worry.. Be happy

We tend to define ourselves and slowly evolve into the people in which we surround ourselves with.  If they are in a melancholy mood, we too are put into that same type of forlorn state. Where on the contrary when they choose to be a positive influence, we as people are encouraged to want to be the same way. Our friends represent so much more than they are granted. They lead us through the bumps and curves and have our backs when we need to fall. Their ears are always open to listening. Their mouths always available to advise. However, a key component to friendship is to look deeper than the surface of just another pretty face. It is then, when you dig deeper into a person, that you discover traits within them that you too wish to possess. When they themselves, embody the type of people we want to become. In realizing for yourself that happiness is not one that should be equated with rainbows and sunshine but rather one that regards knowing who you are, knowing where you have come from, respecting your body and your mind, appreciating all that surrounds you. Finding friends who believe the same philosphy will help you as a person stop believing in happiness, and begin living it. Happiness has not one definition but rather one which changes for each person who chooses to embrace it! Friendships lies in the palm's of the beholder's hand, the power instilled in that who chooses to understand it. It goes un-noticed most of the time that we are effected by the situations that encompass our own.  It puts a weight on our own idea of happiness when we are unable to be exposed to it, from a premature stage. How can a person grasp a concept when they are not vulnerable to it? While I am not saying that being happy at a constant rate is crucial to enjoy life to its fullest potential, I am saying that being surrounded by other people who are striving to attain this end goal of contentment is. Make the choice to find the correct perspective for yourself on the subject regarding happiness. What does it mean to you? Who can help you reach it? Why is it important in your life? Because without happiness and satisfaction for you current standing in life, for the foundation on which you were built off of, and for the excitement on what is to come.. it will be hard to understand everything in between.. Make friends who support your journey in becoming a positive influence on the world around you. Then choose to be the friend who exceeds happiness and chooses to understand it...
