I heard these insightful words on a sitcom the other day and they stuck with me. Is it really that simple? Is that the secret to life "do what makes you happy?" If it's that simple why is it so hard to just do it? Just do it. Forget about other people, forget about what you know, just do what makes you happy.
Problem is, it's not that easy. The problem is there is sooo much more to it than that. Yeah in some cases it may be the answer and it's a nice thought to occupy the mind but nothing in life is that easy. The problem is other people. How are you supposed to do what makes you happy when what makes you happy makes the people you love miserable? It's said if you really love someone you want them to be happy. Well what if you love someone and they love you but you are happy when they aren't and what makes them happy makes you miserable? What happens then?
The good news is there are many different aspects to life and even if one thing doesn't make you happy chances are something else will. It's hard not to dwell on the negatives in life but I suppose sometimes we have to forgo our human ways and focus on the good things in life, like friends. and family. and the weekend. and new clothes. and beautiful days. So maybe that should be changed to "remember what makes you happy"
