Meaning of Happiness
Happiness. The feeling that most people are hopeful to actually "feel" and experience. The feeling that is so difficult to describe. The feeling that I work hard towards achieving in my life and one that I wish to experience more of. I seem to be searching for that feeling lately, that experience, those moments that I can just sit in and soak in and hope that they never disintegrate. Happiness, is it a feeling? Or is it an experience? Or is it a place? Is it a state of mind? Or is it just one more thing that people search for and rarely find? Or is it something that a person finds but can't hold on to it for a prolonged period of time?

Before I begin, I ask of your forgiveness The holidays are over and I’m feeling pessimistic. The stress of expectation and anticipation is over, but so is the spirit of hope and new beginnings. So I ask you to bear with me as I criticize some of your favorite chlichés, point out what I believe to be some harsh realities, and get altogether down on myself.

I Want to Change the World
May I start with a little story, something that just found its way into my head? Thank you... Imagine it; a vast barren land, the smog is so thick you can't see the stars or the horizon no matter where you are. The rich live in domes, a bubble of indulgence with an artificial, projected sky, with rich, delicious, genetically modified superfoods. They have every lavish thing you could ever ask for, they're happy, without a care in the world. Machines do everything for them. They're all identical and they live healthy for over 150 years. The poor live outside, breathing the floating dirt output by the domes. Their homes are built from of scrap and trash, which are no match for the dust storms, their meals are just slime made of old discarded superfood. Not a single thing grows out here, and there's nothing to hunt. Everyone looks different from those on the inside, they have different skin, different eyes, voices and minds. They fight for the survival of one another... In vain more often than not, you're lucky if you live to 45.

Stress Is Optional
If anyone had told me two years ago that "stress is optional," I would have rolled my eyes and then asked them what they're selling. But here's the truth of it—where you can't control your initial emotional response to stress, you can control the thoughts and decisions you make in response. When I first began practicing the techniques I will share here, it was very difficult to change the automatic responses I had wired my brain to make. However, I put the practice to the test every day and every time I remembered to. It wasn't long before I rewired my brain so that my automatic response to stress was to remain calm and think things through.

Life Is More Than a 5-Year Plan
“Where do you see yourself in five years?” The dreaded question that forces you, in that moment, to pronounce your planned career trajectory, allowing the person to whom you address your response to judge your character, ambition, talent and several other of your most important traits.

Being Average
I always avoided being shirtless. Always. I never even wanted my own family to see the torso I was ashamed of. I set my standards low with everything and even developed a way of sitting, walking and breathing that wouldn't show anything I didn't want people to see. Especially wearing black, I wasn't an Emo, just self-conscious (that was a joke).

Self Worth
I used to think that I needed to jump on every opportunity, that every chance missed was a door shut and a step backwards. I thought what the universe presented to me was what I needed at the time, until I found myself living in a reality that wasn’t aligned with my true authenticity; in simplistic terms, it didn’t feel good. Your current reality is a reflection of your self worth. Not your actual worth, but the worth you believe yourself to have, because those are two very different things. You may believe you can’t get better than that unfulfilling job with the shitty boss. I bet you justify it every day in your head or to others, or better yet, you blame. What you really deserve is purpose, fulfillment, something that lights your soul on fire. But you don’t believe that, do you? I bet you’re even thinking, well not me, or I’ll never find that, or someday but not today. But here’s the truth: the universe only wants us to grow into our full authentic versions of self, and we are conditioned and taught off that path. We have learned to SURVIVE instead of THRIVE. The people, the places, the things, in your life are all manifestations of what you have attracted, accepted, and most of the time settled for.
