Happiness 

What’s your view of happiness?

Most times we skip opportunities to be happy, because we are chasing a blind view of happiness. It’s always there we jus seem to want to not see it.

A young man didn’t get the opportunity to have the best path of life growing up, every thing seemed to be going anti his way, although he had siblings and friends who were in the same position, they took life easy and step at a time, while trying make a change of path in search of a new life, they didn’t think of it as a do or die, they seized every opportunity to be happy from playing football, to cracking jokes they created their own happiness, his younger brother had a lover who was very understanding and also in the process of creating a steady green path for herself, the young man on the other hand chased for a steady path as though his days were numbered, he despised his brothers way of life, he always referred to them as lazy and unserious, he would always look at his brother who had a lover and say “ I wonder what is igniting this your  feelings without money” he always said I wonder what makes all of you happy without money, on the side chase they got there, although he made it first, he moved afar from the others, what he had wasn’t still enough for him, his brothers and friends lived a close like a small community, they tried keeping in touch but he wasn’t interested, after a while he took ill, it got worse so he had to reach out to his brothers, on hearing the news  they all came by, he had cancer and was at a bad stage, his brothers tried all they could, while in bed he couldn’t work so he had to spend from his wealth, his brothers were as supportive as they could but they had so much on their hand to attend to, during his days in the hospital, he then figured that money wasn’t every thing, he couldn’t recall a day he laughed or was genuinely happy, he missed all the moments he had to be happy while chasing a view he felt was happiness.Even on reaching that view he still couldnt because his time was up.

   What do you think is happiness? It mustn’t be when those goals are archived, while achieving those goals you need to seize moments,we only live once, live gives us limited opportunities, no matter what your chasing it’s not do or die, do you recall those moments when we felt this was the worst position but with time we got to see that it wasn’t, time actually waits for nobody, sieze that opportunity to create love, to create moments, to go on adventures, to do good, to be happy, look at the little progress you make and smile at your self, be proud of your self even though nobody notices, while chasing what ever it is that might seem important  have fun. He chased for a green path, he found it, but he couldn’t live it, we dunno when we are to to expire, when our time will be up, so dont just survive start living, if your to take your last breath would you be happy that you lived? Or would keep wishing that you had lived?
