happiness is not eternal
a friend of mine said that to me. ok she said it in spanish but for those of my readers out there that dont know spanish very well, the translation is above. it struck me as an odd saying. perhaps it is a common spanish phrase that i am unaware of. but when i thought about it, it did strike me that i should comment on it.
life is what you make of it. if you want it to be happy all the time, then chances are it shall be. this depends largely upon your personality of course.. but for the most part if you wish to be happy there is absolutely nothing stopping you except yourself. happiness is a state of mind. if you want to puzzle out a way to be happy then that is all you are really going to be able to do. you just need to be happy. think happy. do happy. live happy.
it is true happiness is not eternal. if it is to you then you really need to seek some therapy. and the opposite holds true as well. life is a happy medium - if you pardon the pun - and a balance between happiness and sadness. you cannot be all the way one or all the way another. it is ok to swing back and forth. its not ok to do it in the span of a few seconds and back again. if this sounds like you, then please seek therapy.
yes happiness is not eternal.
just dont be unhappy about it.
just remember;
sadness is not eternal either…
and if it seems that way to you, again, seek therapy.
