Masking Happiness

We live in a world surrounded by people. We crave people's attention, their touch, even their words. Our dependence on having other people fill the void of what's missing inside of us has taken over. No longer do people fill comfortable enough to be on their own.

The missing link of humanity all comes down to you. You are in control of your own feelings, emotions, thoughts, and actions. No one else. Often we believe that if you find that special someone to love, everything will magically fall into place. The delusion of needing someone to fix everything for us is a toxic mirage. The minute we find someone, everything disappears. We can laugh and have fun, explore the world, even start enjoying our presence on the Earth. But for how long does this last? Do we feel eternally better? Are all our insecurities and doubts solved? No. They are not. Sooner or later the dark shadows of our past and future fly down on us. Blinding our vision, drowning our thoughts. We find that we are back in the exact place we started, the pitiless void of unhappiness seeps through our barriers. Chaos descends and before we can even realise it, we are blaming our closest allies.

It's always upon reflection that we can see how our decisions have affected our path. Almost never do we doubt ourselves in the current moment, we go with the flow of life, grasping on to opportunities. Not once do we stop and stand still to look around. The tunnel vision of reality forces us to walk in a straight line, never to deviate from the light in front of us. The promise of perfection tempts us to aim for the light at the end of the tunnel. Very few are able to shake off the hypnosis. For those who do, they stop and question, where does this lead? They don't step into line and follow the next person in front. They turn around and run the other way. Run for freedom, run for the chance of creating their own world filled with their own pure happiness.

So how can we stop this? How do we break free from the shackles that tie us down from becoming our true selves? You are the answer. All that needs to be done is to turn your perspective from outwards to inwards. Spending time finding out who you are and what you want is the first step in living your life. How can we ever go further if we don't know what we truly want when we aren't content with ourselves. Making time for you doesn't make you selfish or self-absorbed. As conscious beings, we need to grow, to learn, to be at one with our own body. No one else can give you happiness unless you are happy with yourself. That's how it works. There has been no time better than now to become fully aware of ourselves, to live our lives the way we want it to be lived.

No one can tell you what you should do, what you're bad or good at. You are the decider of those thoughts. It's your inner dialogue that dictates the way you feel about yourself. Be it positive or negative, it's your own words that will either make you or ruin you - that's the secret. The sooner we realise this, life will flourish. Only then are you in full control of everything. That's all you need to know.

I fully support the notion of finding yourself to the point of living your true being with anyone at any time. Only then can we enjoy living through the beauty of life while being true to who we are. Becoming you will allow you to be open to anything and everyone, you will no longer need to protect your heart from the possibility of love as you know any outcome will result in your happiness' favour.
