Are You Happy Now ?

   We are always chasing something. Have you noticed? Nothing is ever enough for you. Nobody is ever enough. Nothing is ever perfect or how we expect it. Have you gotten what you have been waiting for and then started chasing something else? A girlfriend, a promotion, a child, a degree, etc.

   We think we will be happy when we get married. We think our life starts when we find “the one.” We are finally happy when we become the nurse or teacher we have spent the last four to eight years in school for. It is not true. We will never be fully satisfied. We may be in the moment when we eat a good meal or have a week off in Cancun, when we get pregnant with our first child, when the weather is nice outside, when we paid off our bills, when God gives us a job, or when the first date went really well.

   I feel as if America is the most spoiled, but also the most miserable! Why why why why why why why!? We have everything! We live in the golden age, or golden times, what’s the phrase again? We have the best food, the most successful people, microwaves, the best technology, hundreds of churches, the list never ends! I think what we want is what other people have. We see that someone is traveling, we are stuck at work. We see someone finished school and has a Bachelors, you are just beginning your junior year. People getting married left and right and we are left single.

   What are you chasing right now in this moment? Better days, better looking body, Monday to be over, someone to like you?  What if you had everything you wanted, would you be happy? Think about it. Would you truly and sincerely finally be happy. Would you stop chasing things? Do you think you will finally be happy when you are old and on retirement? Never will you be happy unless you choose to be content in every situation. That’s all I have for today, thanks for reading.
