Intoxicated By life

I think it was Tom Hanks who said it best “Life is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get.” At one moment life can seem perfect and everything you ever wanted is in right in front of you....you lost weight , you have an amazing boyfriend , a new car or you have reconciled a broken relationship....man that's what life is about but no....why should we depend on materialistic things for our happiness.  happiness goes beyond the physical it reaches deep down into your soul....life is unexpected so what happens when your perfect boyfriend suddenly acquires flaws or you gain 5 lbs or your car is repossessed does your happiness quickly fade because life isn't going how you want it to go....i think not i think that's the time when you should smile more and be ready for whatever challenges life throws out you your happiness does not reside within an individual but within yourself . You determine your own happiness if you look at the world as being empty and meaningless and at love as being non existent and pointless you will let life pass you and not gain the full experience of a meaningful life :) happiness is within u !

“The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress and grow”
