Are You Happy?



A friend asked me.  I usually say yes but this time I said no. Let me explain. 

As humans we tend to focus on the negatives in our life verse the positives. Right?! Yes I am right. So honestly am I happy with my life...90% yes. There’s 10% missing and that 10% actually made me say no. 

Crazy right! 
So why say no? Because it’s ok to not always make it seem like life is perfect and great. We all know we can’t have perfect lives. That’s not real at all. We all have some pain and void. We all want to make our lives better. 

If that 10% was filled would I be the happiest person in the world. Probably not. Let me explain.

Life everyday is a challenge. We wake up and go to bed. In between we are faced with noise, problems, emotions, things that trigger us. I, You, anyone. Can’t possibly ever be 100% happy. 

My life is 90% happy. That’s huge! Yet that 10% occupies a big part of my brain. A void. But I can say that I won’t allow that 10% to take the best of me. I can say I will do anything in my power to be as close to 100% happy as possible so next time someone asks you if you’re happy it’s ok to tell them how ever you’re feeling in that moment.
