They say being happy is a state of mind. I agree. I am right, now, probably happier than I have ever been. That’s not to say everything is going the way I want it to, or that everything is sunshine and roses. Everything isn’t. There are still things I’m working on, still projects to complete, still stuff to be done. With all that is pending, I’m still happy. I’m happy with the progress in my life at this point. Everything is looking up.
I’ve read that everyone needs to take responsibility for everything in their life. That doesn’t mean you have to accept blame for everything because that isn’t healthy. What that means is that you need to accept the responsibility for how you react to everything in your life. It falls in line with that taking lemons and making lemonade bit.
Bobby McFerrin was an genius. His song, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" is a philosophical high point in our existence. Seriously. Things aren't always going to be great, but that doesn't mean you have to just sit down and wallow in your sorrow. That was an unintentional rhyme, so I hope that made you smile a little bit.
About smiling. Do it. Fake it till you make it works in some cases. Your smile is infectious. There is a certain lady in my life, that whenever she smiles, I can't help but feel really, really good. Every. Single. Time. Smiling leads to laughing, laughing leads to forgetting about the problems currently surrounding you, and ultimately leads to you being happy. Be the one that makes everyone happy, no one likes Debbie Downer.
I'm making this entry fairly short because I am about to start filming for a new web series that I'm working on, more on that later, but please guys, be the light that others like to turn to. Simple.
Until next time, dear readers...
