Happiness

Finding happiness is like finding yourself. You don't find happiness, you make happiness. You choose happiness. Self-actualization is a process of discovering who you are, who you want to be and paving the way to happiness by doing what brings YOU the most meaning and contentment to your life over the long run. -David Leonhardt

Yesterday I was informed by one of my extremely close friends, that I am not happy. I wonder to myself, how would this person know if I'm happy or not. He doesn't talk to me on a regular basis and when he finally did he accused me of things that have no relevance. So with that conversation burning in my mind all night, I decided to look up a definition of Happiness that best suites me and ^^^^ that is perfect.

Just so you know, I AM happy, and even though you don't like my friends and what THEY do, you need to realize that I am not them and I live my life the way I think is right, and if you think your growing up and maturing. Thats great but don't backtrack and say that I have to choose between them or you. You should be more content in our friendship to know that what we have is so much different from them. And for your information, I am not going to "fade away in Mikes garage". I am going to make something of myself. I do want to thank you though, for showing me that no matter how intelligent someone claims to be, there is still room for error, because trust me, you made a HUGE error.

I hope your "happy" with out me corrupting your perfect life.
